    Our guide (Yaya) was excellent and we were grateful for her showing us not only the tourist attractions but also the socio-economic reality of the people of Nungwi in Zanzibar. The food, however, could have been better.

  • Safari por el Parque Nacional Nyerere + Vuelos de ida y vuelta

    A fantastic activity, very well organized and compared to other safaris. It was very comprehensive due to the variety of wildlife we saw, including lions enjoying their prey. The tour is conducted in English, but after seeing other reviews suggesting requesting the guide Franco, who speaks Spanish, we asked for him and were fortunate enough to have him: a success, thanks to his professionalism and the effort he made to make the tour bilingual. Many thanks to Civitatis, Franco, and the driver Azizi.

  • Tour por Stone Town, isla de la Prisión y granjas de especias

    El guía, Yaya, estupendo, muy amable y profesional y conocedor a fondo de la lengua castellana. La única pega -y no menor- es que se hemos pagada más x unos servicios que no se han ofrecido y que serán objeto de la pertinente reclamación. Pero insisto, lo cortes no quita lo valiente.

Zanzibar Tours & Activities: Discover Tropical Paradise

Zanzibar is a tropical paradise off the coast of Tanzania, famous for its white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant culture. Whether you're looking for relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, this island offers it all. From bustling markets in Stone Town to peaceful villages and coral reefs perfect for snorkeling, every visitor finds something to love.

A Brief History

Steeped in rich heritage, Zanzibar has been at the crossroads of cultures for centuries. Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influences have shaped its identity, making it a unique blend of history and tradition. The island was once a major trading centre for spices and a hub in the East African slave trade.

Best Time to Visit

The ideal time to visit is during the dry seasons, from June to October and December to February, when the weather is sunny and perfect for beach activities. Avoid the rainy months of March to May and November if you want to make the most of your stay.

Is it safe to travel?

Zanzibar is generally considered safe for tourists. As with any destination, it's important to take common-sense precautions, especially in crowded areas, and always respect local customs.

What currency is used?

The Tanzanian shilling is the local currency. However, US dollars are widely accepted in many hotels and tourist areas.
