Is a package holiday to Zanzibar worth it?

Zanzibar, the spice island off the coast of Tanzania in the Indian Ocean, enchants with turquoise blue water, powdery white beaches, and a fascinating cultural mix of African, Arab, Indian, and European influences. Stone Town, the historic old town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a labyrinth of narrow streets, carved wooden doors, and former sultan palaces.

The beaches on the east coast around Nungwi and Kendwa are among the most beautiful in the Indian Ocean: crystal clear water, coconut palms, and spectacular sunsets create the perfect tropical paradise. At low tide, locals wade through ankle-deep water to offshore sandbanks, while women harvest seaweed for cosmetic production — a unique sight.

Zanzibar's nickname, Spice Island, comes from the cultivation of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and black pepper. Spice tours take you through fragrant plantations where you can taste exotic fruits straight from the tree. The Forodhani Gardens Night Food Market in Stone Town is an evening street food festival featuring fresh fish, Zanzibar pizza, and sugarcane juice. Dolphin tours off Kizimkazi and snorkeling at Mnemba Atoll complement the offerings. December to March and June to October are the best travel months.

Zanzibar particularly impresses with stunning beaches, fascinating culture, breathtaking nature, first-class relaxation options. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
