Tanzania Beach Holidays

With all the attention focussed on the admittedly amazing wildebeest migration, people tend to forget that Tanzania has hundreds of miles of toothpaste-smile white beaches and a dozen or so tropical islands.

Ranging from mainland beaches to world famous Zanzibar and tiny private Indian Ocean retreats barely on the map, Tanzania beaches are as diverse as they are enticing - there'll be a stretch of soft sand and a cosy hammock for all tastes.

Our recommended Tanzania Beach Holiday

Classic Fundu Lagoon Holiday: Seven luxurious days on peerless Pemba Island and the chance to experience some of Africa's greatest dive sites as well as mangrove forest canoe safaris and dhow cruises.

The aquatic life at Fundu Lagoon was mind-blowing even from the jetty; I couldn't wait to see what it was like out on the reefs! - Africa safari expert Maureen Stover

And it's not just about the beach: not only does some of Tanzania's best luxury accommodation lie on the coast - from exclusive and intimate honeymoon island getaways to family-friendly beach resorts - but Tanzania's pristine Indian Ocean coral reefs have been luring scuba divers for decades and many dive sites are rated as among the best in Africa.
