4 Days Zanzibar beach holidays

Banana trees, mangroves and coconut palms line the road to Nungwi on the northern tip of the island, where craftsmen build wooden dhows by the water’s edge. Dip your toes in the cool freshwater pool that lies hidden in a natural coral cave close to white sand Mangapwani Beach. Giant tortoises roam nearby Changuu (Prison) Island, once a quarantine station for East Africa and now a popular daytrip destination with a rustic restaurant and an intimate beach.

Haunting calls prayer emanate from mosques in ancient Stone Town, where noisy bazaars and whitewashed houses are tightly packed along narrow cobbled alleyways. Enjoy a guided underwater dive through colorful coral reefs and shoals of tropical fish in the Misali Island Marine Conservation Area. Nature trails winding through Ngezi Forest Reserve on Pemba Island reveal glimpses of velvet monkeys, rare flying foxes and Scopes owls.
