About Zanzibar — Unguja Island
Zanzibar is the classic finish to a Tanzanian safari — a 75-minute flight from Arusha or the Serengeti. We match beaches to your travel style: north for nightlife and swimming, east for kitesurfing and value, southwest for quiet honeymoon retreats. Ramadan and monsoon (long rains in April – May) are worth planning around.
