Top Experiences in Zanzibar

1. Stay in Stone Town

This world heritage site deserves your attention for at least a night or two. Narrow cobbled streets framed by ancient buildings will swallow you up on a walk through the town. Half the fun is getting lost in Stone Town, as each corner offers you something special from encounters with interesting locals to beautiful buildings and road side fabric stalls. A visit to Stone Town is an essential part of your Zanzibar holiday.

2. Indulge Your Senses

Spices and herbs share an intimate relationship with life on Zanzibar. Traditional meals, medicine and ceremonial clothing are all infused with island spice. A walking tour of the island's spice plantations is a wonderfully sensory experience and a must do for first timers on a Zanzibar holiday.

3. Take a Dhow Cruise

The ocean is the main attraction on a Zanzibar Holiday. Glide across the Indian Ocean in a traditional wooden boat. Explore close by islands and jump overboard to enjoy a swim at various secluded and beautiful spots. You can enjoy lunch on the dhow, a little lively pirate music and a famous Zanzibar sunset.

4. Get Lost in the Vibe at Cholos

An institution on the island, the Cholos bar is located on a beautiful stretch of beach in the northwest of Zanzibar Island. Cholos is made of the odds and ends of old boats. A hammock and resident monkey keep you entertained. Many an energetic traveller has lost an afternoon to Cholos, with its sunset views, cocktails and evening early bonfires. A visit to Cholos will add to the excitement of your Zanzibar holiday.

5.Explore the Marine World

Zanzibar offers some of the best diving conditions in the Indian Ocean and marine life is well worth the plunge for divers. If you're new to diving, you can complete dive courses at one of the many dive schools on Zanzibar Island. If you're not up for the courses needed and technicalities of diving, then just strap on a snorkel and a pair of flippers. A Zanzibar holiday offers visitors some of the best diving on the Indian Ocean.
