From our customized boats to our luxury accommodation options, you’ll experience the best Zanzibar has to offer".
Paradise Awaits!
The name alone evokes palm-fringed white sandy beaches, gin clear waters with shawls of tropical fish and above all - pure and utter relaxation. Accessible from Dar es Salaam or directly from Tanzania’s top safari destinations like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar is the perfect place to unwind after an exciting East African safari.
It is a little known fact that the Zanzibar Archipelago actually consists of several beautiful small islands, the one often referred to as Zanzibar is actually called Unjunga and is only one of many islands. Most notable are quirky and adventurous Mafia Island, which has emerged as one of the best diving spots in the Indian Ocean, and pretty and wild Pemba Island, which will enchant honeymooners with its pristine and strikingly beautiful coastline.
Zanzibar is rightly considered one of the world’s most romantic honeymoon destinations. While famous for its never-ending beaches, warm Indian Ocean water and its world class diving, there is so much more to see and explore! Although officially part of Tanzania, the Zanzibari have very much developed their own culture and identity through their rich and turbulent history. Nowhere is this as evident as in the ancient city of Stone Town, which has seen British, Portuguese, and Omani conquerors come and go over the centuries.
....come diving and be enchanted by the pristine waters and abundant marine life in Zanzibar...
The coral reefs of Zanzibar are some of the most abundant in the world with over 500 species of marine species. In turn warm Indian Ocean water creates water temperatures consistently around 80F (27C) and visibility that often exceeds 100ft (30m).
Zanzibar is a dive location where there is something for everyone, the snorkelers, the macro lovers and the deep divers. With over 30 dive sites that include, reef, wall and wreck diving, Zanzibar is more than just a beach island to relax. Levan Bank off the northern tip of Zanzibar is one of the islands' most famous and impressive dives, where strong currents create a haven for big game fish such as kingfish, trevally and tuna.
Zanzibar is also one of the world’s premier locations for sighting the ocean's biggest fish, the whale shark. Mnemba Atoll is a 4.5 miles (7km) reef that is a conservation success story, where turtles, dolphins and the whale sharks can be seen in the months from September to December.

For divers with specific interests, migration seasons with the highest concentration of certain marine animals, and the highest possibility of sightings are over the following periods:
Eagle rays: June to March
Manta rays: December to April
Blacktip reefs sharks: June to March
Hammerhead sharks: November to February
Whale sharks (Mafia Island): October to February
Seahorses: June to March
Humpback whales: July to October
Whitetip reef sharks, dolphins, and hawksbill turtles: year-round
