Zanzibar Beach Holidays

Zanzibar, one of the oldest islands in the Indian Ocean, has a unique combination of atmosphere, mystery, and stunning beaches. The archipelago offers a range of lodging options at different price points, making it a destination that is accessible to everyone. Zanzibar is a must-visit location for every trip to Africa because there is so much to see, do, and learn about there. The island nation has a rich cultural history because it is the home of spice farms, the palaces of Sultans, and the birthplace of the Swahili language.

The beach experiences in Zanzibar Beaches are especially fantastic when combined with a safari in Tanzania. The island’s stunningly blue Indian Ocean waters provide the ideal setting for unwinding while admiring the sight of white dhow sails gliding across the horizon. Every traveler has excellent options, whether they favor the privacy of a private island or the conveniences of a larger hotel.

Amazing Safari experience

Originally I wanted to join a group for Safari. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic I didn't find any other tourists who wanted to do a trip at my dates for ten days. Sumbi-Extra-Miles arranged a wonderful program for me for a good price which made my experience unforgettable!

Amazing Safari with fantastic guide!!

In preparation for our safari, we shared our ideas and wishes already with our guide whom we found on a French forum. His name is Juma and he is working as a safari guide since 2007 with some companies. Now he has founded his own company.

An incredible experience

I found this safari company on the recommendation of several people on the backpacker and I was not disappointed! We did a Safari of just 3 days with our great guide Hamisi who explained lots of things to us about the fauna and flora as well as the history of Tanzania.
