Zanzibar for… honeymooners

Zanzibar is an ever-popular choice with honeymooners; it is very romantic with its beautiful white, sandy beaches, clear turquoise waters and some fantastic places to stay. The bonus of being a conveniently close location to both the Tanzanian mainland as well as Kenya makes this the perfect choice for a premier safari and beach honeymoon without the extra travel to the Seychelles or Mauritius. Here we give our top choices for a perfect honeymoon on Zanzibar.

Kenya and Zanzibar

Combining the wildlife rich plains of Kenya and the palm flanked coastline of Zanzibar makes for a truly unforgettable safari and beach holiday. Offering wildlife encounters and ultimate relaxation in equal measure, this tried and tested combination promises the best of both in eastern Africa. Begin the holiday of a lifetime witnessing thousands of wildebeest cross the Maasai Mara, tracking rhino in the Laikipia plateau or meeting the fascinating Samburu people before escaping to Zanzibar, off the coast of Tanzania, for barefoot luxury and paradisiacal beaches. Whether it’s a special occasion, a family holiday or a honeymoon, Kenya and the Zanzibar archipelago are the perfect pairing for the bush-to-beach adventure of a lifetime.

Zanzibar for… families

With soft white sands and crystal blue waters, Zanzibar provides the perfect beach add-on to a family safari holiday, or offers a tropical island getaway in its own right. The calm waters around Zanzibar are perfect for young children, and unlike other Indian Ocean islands, there is plenty to keep all ages entertained.
