Beach Adventure

Imagine stepping into a paradise where the rhythm of the Indian Ocean greets you every morning. Welcome to Zanzibar Beach Holiday, an enchanting archipelago that once held the political and economic keys to East Africa. This dreamy destination boasts two main islands: the vibrant Unguja, commonly known as Zanzibar Island, and the lush, serene Pemba Island, along with several smaller, habitable gems scattered in between.

Unguja, the heart of Zanzibar, stretches 85 kilometres in length and 39 kilometres in width. This island is where you’ll find the bustling capital, Zanzibar Town, a historic Swahili city-state brimming with culture and charm. Located just 36 kilometres off the coast of mainland Tanzania, Zanzibar Town offers a fascinating blend of old-world allure and contemporary vibrancy.

Pemba Island, slightly smaller at 72 kilometres long and 25 kilometres wide, is a haven of natural beauty and tranquillity. Zanzibar’s highest point, reaching 120 meters above sea level, provides breathtaking views of this tropical wonderland.

As of 2002, Zanzibar had a population of about 981,754. With a steady growth rate of 3% per year, the archipelago is now home to around 1.2 million people. The community here is a vibrant tapestry of cultural diversity, with approximately 90% of the population practising Islam, alongside vibrant Christian and Hindu communities, making it a unique and enriching cultural destination.
