A Beach in Zanzibar, Tanzania

Beaches and Islands

The islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia evoke intrigue, unique culture and pure indulgence. There is mile upon mile of uncrowded pure white unspoiled beaches, with the warm Indian Ocean lapping up the sands. The true romantics can sail away in their very own dhow for a sumptuous picnic lunch or a three course dinner at sunset.

If snorkelling or diving is your passion, then look no further. The deeper waters around Pemba have retained their untouched formations; on a clear day visibility can be up to 150 feet. Spectacular wall diving at a variety of sites, large marine-life and the clarity of the water makes Pemba one of the best diving locations in East Africa. New dive sites are being discovered all the time, but the island still retains its innocence.

Zanzibar steeped in history and rich in cultural heritage is characterised by a labyrinth of narrow streets, busy bazaars, grand merchant houses and intricately carved doors.

Mafia and its surrounding forests and islands are now within the protected Mafia Island Marine Park. The crystal clear, protected waters offer wonderful snorkelling, sailing and swimming. Outside the bay are some of the richest reefs in the world, with an unparalleled variety of hard and soft corals and diverse tropical fish.

We use a few carefully selected lodges and hotels to offer our clients elegance, peace and tranquillity or for the young at heart the livelier resorts are superb fun.

A Tanzania beach holiday allows you the freedom to really experience these wonderful islands, whether your stay is an extension of an exciting safari, or a carefully planned honeymoon.
