Overview
Zanzibar is a bewitching place: with white sandy beaches, palm trees and romantic retreats. Here you can rejuvenate and relax after your hectic wedding preparations at your own pace. Whilst inland rich green valleys are filled with the aroma of spices. And evocative and historic Stone Town, once the capital of a vast Arabic empire, makes for a fascating place to visit. It's an atmospheric maze of narrow streets, colourful markets and winding stone steps.
Zanzibar is the best-known island but there are some smaller tropical islands with a more laid-back beach vibe. These are perfect for a honeymoon or celebrating a special anniversary. Mafia Island is a meccas for divers whilst Pemba Island appeals to both divers and romantics. Plus don't forget the very exclusive private island of Mnemba. This offers chic 'rustic beach luxury' with the chance to get away from the world. It's the ultimate Zanzibar honeymoon. But with a price tag to match.
We tailor-make each honeymoon on Zanzibar. We can combine a beach lodge with Stone Town, diving, snorkelling and any excursions you want.
