Zanzibar Excution

Destination

Zanzibar Island, also known as Unguja, is by far the largest and most famous of the islands that make up the Zanzibar Archipelago. Zanzibar has such a diverse coastline that there are plenty of different experiences across the main island, from vibrant culture in the south to idyllic barefoot luxury in the north. There is plenty to see beyond stately palm trees, white beaches, and water the color of malachite – we’ve collected the best places to visit based on our numerous visits

Off the main island are also a series of much smaller islets that offer a more exclusive, away-from-the-crowds experience and are perfect for honeymooners and romantics. We take a look at where to go in Pemba, Mafia, Chumbe, and Mnemba below.

First, a look at the different areas of Zanzibar, where to go, and what to expect at each:

Zanzibar East Coast: home to the island’s best and most idyllic beaches, the east coast is home to a wide range of lodges and hotels, but the tidal aspect of the Indian Ocean may mean you have to walk to go swimming or snorkeling.

Zanzibar’s North Coast: As a rule, the further north on Zanzibar you go, the more private and less crowded the beaches are. The north coast is also least affected by the tidal range.

Zanzibar’s North-East Coast: Due to the island’s prime location, most of Zanzibar’s top-end accommodation is set on the north-east beaches. The diving is excellent here; there’s not much tidal variation, and the archipelago’s best reefs on Mnemba Island lie about a kilometer or half a mile offshore.

Zanzibar South Coast: the further south you go on Zanzibar, the more populated it becomes. And with people comes culture – head south for cultural and spice tours, along with more opportunities to engage with the locals.

Zanzibar’s South-East Coast: There are plenty of beaches and resorts in the southeast of Zanzibar, but the tidal range is more marked than in other regions.

Zanzibar West Coast: There are fewer lodges on Zanzibar’s west coast, and it feels a little more remote, but it is, of course, home to Stone Town, located on the island’s central-west coast.

Zanzibar is home to the Zanzibar red Colobus monkey. Endemic to the island, these monkeys are considered one of the most endangered primates in the world. The name colo-bus originated from a word that means ‘mutilated’ or ‘docked’ — referring to the monkey’s lack of thumbs on its hands. This is something that all species of Colobus monkeys have in common and allows them to use their four long fingers to wrap around branches while swinging from tree to tree. Unlike chimpanzee or gorilla tracking, where your time is limited, you can spend hours with the red colobus monkeys in their natural habitat.
