Tanzania Beach Holidays

Zanzibar not only guarantees relaxation on the palm-fringed shores of the Indian Ocean but also offers a melting pot of diverse cultures, lifestyles and historical backgrounds. With its natural beauty, a wide range of activities and an abundance of culinary delights, Zanzibar has everything you need for your dream holiday.

Pemba Island, a lesser-known part of the Zanzibar archipelago, is renowned for its dense, lush vegetation. While the majority of visitors visit the main island, Pemba stands as a tranquil alternative, providing a distinctive experience for those in search of peace and unspoiled nature.

Mnemba is a small and exclusive private island on the northeastern tip of Zanzibar, just a short boat ride from the main island. The island stretches a mere 1.5 kilometers in length and 500 meters in width and is home to an exclusive 5-star beach resort offering ultimate privacy, relaxation and a variety of activities in the crystal clear turquoise waters. A special highlight of Mnemba is the coral reef that surrounds the island and is one of the most important nature reserves in East Africa.

Mafia Island is still a real insider tip in Tanzania. This island south of Zanzibar has still remained untouched by mass tourism and offers a tranquil island experience. In contrast to Zanzibar, transport connections to Mafia are limited and the local infrastructure is rather modest. A trip to Mafia is a must for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a particularly quiet beach holiday. Mafia is best known for the unique opportunity to swim with whale sharks.

The coast on the mainland also impresses with beautiful beaches and offers an authentic Tanzania experience. Popular locations include Bagamoyo with its colonial architecture, Pangani with its pristine sandy beaches and historic charm and Tanga, a port city with a rich cultural heritage.
