Luxury Zanzibar Getaway 4 nights

This sample 4 night Zanzibar holiday can be enjoyed as a stand-alone beach holiday or you can add a Tanzania safari as well. Zanzibar is an alluring combination with rich slave trade history and beautiful beaches. The astoundingly white beaches of Zanzibar's east coast lead out to turquoise coral waters. These are perfect for swimming, snorkelling and diving.

Overview

Zanzibar  is an alluring combination of rich and layered trading history plus some of the Indian Ocean’s most seductive beaches. Along the island’s east coast, powder-white sands slope gently into clear, turquoise waters, fringed by coral reefs ideal for swimming, snorkelling and diving. Consistent coastal breezes also make this one of East Africa’s most appealing destinations for kite surfing.

With its warm tropical climate, Zanzibar lends itself to a beach escape at almost any time of year, though April to mid May brings heavier rains.

This sample escape offers the perfect end to your Tanzania safari, or indulging in a restorative island retreat in its own right.

Accommodation is carefully selected to reflect Cedarberg Africa’s focus on style, comfort and location. From refined boutique hideaways to indulgent all-inclusive resorts, we draw on deep regional knowledge to match each stay to your travel style and expectations.
