Zanzibar Top Beach Safari Destinations
Zanzibar Island, lying 36km off the Tanzania coast in the Indian Ocean about 72km north of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), has some of the best beaches in the world.
Zanzibar (meaning Land of the Blacks in Arabic) is famed for its alluring white beaches majority of which are placed along the east coast, near the northern tip of the island, where fishing villages dot the landscape.
There are more than 30 pristine beaches in Zanzibar. Most of Zanzibar beaches are quiet and unspoilt that the only noise breaking the silence is likely to be the ocean.
At the northern end of the island is Nungwi, arguably the best beach in Zanzibar and the island’s dhow building capital.
Nungwi is accessed by a road lined by banana palms, mangroves and coconut trees and it is a good spot to see traditional craftsmen at work.
Mangapwani beach, situated on the west coast of Zanzibar, is also worth a visit and so are the beaches of Matemwe, Pwani Mchangani, Kiwengwa, Uroa, Bwejuu and Jambianito the east of Zanzibar. With stretches of beautiful and uncrowded sands, these beaches offer unlimited opportunities to make the most of Zanzibar safari holidays.
In addition to the pristine beaches, Zanzibar has several small offshore islands which are ideal for short trips. Read the rest of this entry »
