Zanzibar all inclusive packages
Zanzibar holiday packages offer a chance to immerse yourself in a heady mix of palm-fringed beaches, turquoise seas and a melting pot of exotic cultures. Lying off the coast of Tanzania, Zanzibar is a romantic Indian Ocean island paradise that is still relatively untouched. It’s the largest coral island off the shores of Africa and is famous for its centuries-old sailing dhows, ornately carved wooden doors and the scent of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg – hence its nickname, the ‘Spice Island’.
Zanzibar’s main town, Stone Town, is the oldest part of the island and boasts 45 mosques, the Slave Market, the Old Fort, Dr Livingstone’s House and the Zanzibar Marubhi Palace ruins. The surrounding islands offer opportunities for further explorations. One of the most popular is Pemba, famous for its excellent scuba diving, deep-sea fishing and a variety of water sports in the untouched marine environment of the Pemba Channel. There’s also Prison Island, home to giant tortoises, and tiny Mnemba, only inhabited by the staff and guests of the luxurious &Beyond Mnemba Island all-inclusive resort.

Zanzibar’s proximity to Tanzania, where you can enjoy an unsurpassed wildlife experience, including watching the annual wildebeest migration, makes the island an ideal location for an unforgettable bush-and-beach holiday or romantic honeymoon.

You can also sail off on a traditional wooden dhow to enjoy snorkelling at various locations, including Kwale Island. Alternatively, head for gorgeous Pemba, 80km from Zanzibar, with its beautiful beaches, prolific birdlife, and excellent dive sites where you can view coral and abundant underwater marine life.

Zanzibar was once a British protectorate and gained independence in 1963.
The history of Zanzibar can be traced back to the early 6th century. The island was occupied by Bantu-speaking people who were later joined by Arab traders from Oman, Persia, and India. In 1502, Zanzibar was visited by Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama who named it “Ilha de São Lourenço”.
In 1698, Zanzibar became a British protectorate following the signing of the Treaty of Friendship with Sultan Bargash bin Said Al-Busaid.
In 1963, Zanzibar became independent from Britain and merged with Tanganyika to form Tanzania.
There are a few ways to get to Zanzibar. The most popular way is by plane. There are two airports in Zanzibar, one in Stone Town and the other in the north, near the beach resort of Jambiani.
