Zanzibar Tours & Trips
Welcome to Zanzibar’s amazing natural sights. Prison Island hosts giant tortoises moving slowly, unbothered, while Nakupenda Sandbank only exists at low tide, making snorkeling feel special. Zanzibar's beaches have sand that squeaks under your feet, while Stone Town's spice markets smell overwhelming in the best way—cardamom, cloves, cinnamon mixing. Off Tanzania's coast, the island blends everything perfectly together.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
The diving around Zanzibar is particularly good in winter, and the double-dive packages right from the beachfront resorts are a great way to see tropical fish and sea turtles up close. Our guests often combine morning dives with afternoon visits to Jozani Forest, where you can paddle through quiet mangroves and visit the local turtle sanctuary. The smaller winter crowds mean you'll have more space to explore Stone Town, wander through spice plantations and really take in the cultural sites at your own pace. Our travelers tell us they love how these winter tours balance active mornings with laid-back afternoons.

Spring brings ideal weather for tours that mix safari time with beach relaxation. The Nairobi to Stone Town routes are especially good right now - you can camp in the Serengeti when wildlife viewing peaks and temperatures stay comfortable. The Usambara Mountains come alive with wildflowers in spring, and the views from Irente viewpoint are crystal clear. You'll spend time in highland villages meeting Wasambaa people and learning their customs, which our customers say adds real depth to their trip. After all the safari excitement, the Zanzibar beaches offer perfect downtime to round out your journey.

- Summer 2026
Summer is prime time for our multi-country tours linking Zanzibar with Cape Town. These routes pack in some incredible wildlife experiences - you can track rhinos on foot in Matobo National Park and explore the Okavango Delta by canoe when water levels are just right. The long summer days give you plenty of time for game drives, cultural visits and camping in key wildlife areas. Our guests particularly enjoy mixing up the safari sections with beach time in Zanzibar, followed by evenings exploring Stone Town's night markets or heading out on traditional dhow sunset cruises.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall hits the sweet spot for wildlife tours connecting Zanzibar with mainland parks. The Nairobi to Stone Town route works especially well now, with perfect conditions for Serengeti camping and Usambara Mountain hikes. In Mto wa Mbu village, you'll see local farming in full swing during harvest time. Our travelers tell us they really connect with communities during fall - joining in harvest activities, learning about daily life and experiencing authentic village customs. The timing lets you catch both the wildlife migrations and local harvest celebrations, which adds something special to these tours. Based on the reviews, Kilimanjaro Safari Experience stands out with consistently positive feedback about their guides - travelers mention how knowledgeable they are and how much that adds to the whole trip experience. Spider Tours and Safaris delivers good overall service, though one traveler pointed out the food wasn't quite what they expected. If you're looking at Great Lake Expedition, they've got the logistics dialed in with solid pre-trip support and reliable climbing staff. Just keep in mind you might need to deal with basic public toilets during the climb - it's part of the mountain experience but worth knowing ahead of time. The guides really make a difference on these trips, and that's where Kilimanjaro Safari Experience seems to have an edge. Their travelers often mention specific moments where the guides' expertise helped them understand local culture, wildlife and also the mountain conditions better. They're getting the fundamentals right - good organization, helpful communication and proper support during the challenging parts of the climb. With Spider Tours, while most aspects hit the mark, the food situation shows how even smaller details can impact the overall experience. Great Lake Expedition balances it well - they nail the important safety and organization pieces, give you proper guidance before you start and support you well on the mountain. Just come prepared for those basic bathroom facilities, which is pretty standard for most Kilimanjaro climbs anyway.

What tours can you do in Zanzibar?
You've got loads of options really when it comes to exploring Zanzibar. History buffs love walking through Stone Town it's a UNESCO site and the guided tours are fantastic. If you're into marine life there's amazing dolphin watching and the snorkeling at Mnemba Atoll is incredible. The Safari Blue tour's really popular it leaves from Fumba and takes you through Menai Bay to these beautiful spots like Kwale sandbank and island. The seafood feast they do is amazing. Nature lovers should definitely check out Jozani Forest to see these incredible red colobus monkeys they're only found here and the island hopping tours are great for finding those hidden beaches and sandbanks.
What local food specialties should you try in Zanzibar?
The food here's this amazing mix of African Arabic and Indian flavors. Urojo's a must-try it's this hearty soup with potatoes and noodles you'll find it all over Stone Town especially at Forodhani night market. Zanzibar pizza isn't what you'd expect it's actually this incredible savory crepe filled with seafood and local spices. The biryani here is something special too the rice is packed with cloves cinnamon and cardamom you can really taste the island's spice heritage. Most Swahili restaurants do a great version.
