Zanzibar Archipelago

Zanzibar

White Sand, Spice Islands, Rich History

• June to October and December to February for the driest, sunniest weather.

An Indian Ocean island steeped in Swahili, Arab, and colonial history, Zanzibar pairs UNESCO-listed Stone Town and fragrant spice farms with some of the most pristine beaches in East Africa. It's the perfect place to unwind after a dust-and-adrenaline mainland safari, whether that means diving a coral reef or simply watching the sun go down over a dhow.
