Zanzibar brings together Swahili heritage, spice farms, forest and Indian Ocean beaches. Most holidays are based on Unguja, the main island; Pemba is a separate island with its own travel arrangements. Build your stay around the coast and experiences that fit your pace.
Best for: Couples, honeymooners, families and safari travellers can all find a suitable base

Mafia is a quieter island choice for marine life, small lodges and coastal communities. Chole Bay and the Utende area provide a natural base for marine-park activities, while other parts of the island offer different beach and village settings.
Best for: Mafia suits couples, marine enthusiasts, divers and families comfortable with smaller lodges and boat-based outings

Mbudya is a small marine-reserve island off Dar es Salaam, best enjoyed as a day escape for a beach picnic and time beside the sea. It offers a simple coastal outing rather than a resort holiday.
