Nothing compares with the clear transparency of the Indian Ocean teeming with tropical fish, turtles, and dolphins, not to mention the rich coral reefs.

SOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL BEACHES IN TANZANIA

ZANZIBAR

“This is the finest place I have known in all of Africa…An elusive place where nothing is as it seems. I am mesmerized.” David Livingstone, 1866

Lying 35km off the coast of mainland Tanzania, the Zanzibar archipelago is one of Africa’s best-known and most enticing destinations. Comprising the islands of Unguja and Pemba, along with a number of smaller isles and coral atolls, the very name evokes images of an exotic paradise replete with coconut palms, multicolored coral reefs, and, of course, miles and miles of white sands lapped by warm, translucent waters. The image is not without justification, of course, but there’s a lot more to Zanzibar than beaches. Its history is reflected in Zanzibar’s culture, the colorful architecture of Stone Town, the ruined cities and palaces scattered across the islands, and in a wealth of festivals ranging from Islamic celebrations to bull-fights.

Zanzibar feels like a different country to mainland Tanzania. It was a separate country until 1964 when it united with mainland Tanganyika to form the present-day nation of Tanzania. Guests can go on various excursions: touring a spice plantation, walking through Jozani Forest, deep-sea fishing, or meeting the impressive tortoises, some of with are over 150 years old on a prison island. Those who are seeking total relaxation can enjoy a massage and sundowner drinks on the beach. It`s a total must for your next beach holiday.

MAFIA ISLAND

Mafia Island is a paradise offering superb diving and ocean experiences. It has pristine waters, white sand beaches, and coral reefs. The name Mafia has nothing to do with the Italian gangster groups, the name comes from the Swahili “Mahali pa Afya” which means a place of good health.

PANGANI

Pangani is a quiet place for a beach vacation in Tanzania, perfect to rest and relax. It lies on the Indian Ocean and offers various beach activities such as snorkeling or diving excursions. Most of the lodges offer windsurfing, kayaking, and Dhow boat rides as well as fishing trips.
