Zanzibar Travel Agent Expert Why not add a beach vacation to your Kenya or Tanzania safari?
Zanzibar, an enchanting archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, is a destination that seamlessly blends history, culture, and stunning natural beauty. With its pristine beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and fascinating blend of African, Arab, and European influences, Zanzibar offers an immersive experience that’s truly unique.
For those in search of idyllic beaches, Zanzibar’s coastlines are lined with soft white sands and turquoise waters, creating a paradise for relaxation and water activities alike. The beaches in places like Nungwi and Kendwa are renowned for their beauty, offering opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, diving, and dhow boat excursions. The warm, crystal-clear waters are home to a vast array of marine life, making it a dream destination for underwater exploration.
Beyond its beaches, Zanzibar is also rich in history and culture. Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a fascinating labyrinth of narrow alleyways, spice markets, and historical buildings with intricate Arabic doors and carvings. This historic town reflects Zanzibar’s centuries-old trade routes and its unique cultural fusion, influenced by Swahili, Arab, Persian, and Indian heritage. Visitors can explore landmarks like the House of Wonders, the Sultan’s Palace, and the Old Fort, each offering a glimpse into Zanzibar’s storied past.
Zanzibar is also known as the “Spice Island” due to its historical spice trade. A spice tour through the lush plantations lets visitors discover the origin of exotic spices like cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg, all while enjoying the fragrant and colorful surroundings. These tours provide not only a sensory experience but also insights into the island's economic history.
For those who enjoy wildlife, Zanzibar’s Jozani Forest is home to the rare red colobus monkey, a species found only here, as well as other indigenous flora and fauna. Mangrove forests and nature reserves add an eco-tourism aspect to the visit, blending conservation with adventure.
With a range of luxury resorts, boutique hotels, and authentic cultural experiences, Zanzibar has something to offer for every type of traveler, from honeymooners and luxury seekers to adventurers and history enthusiasts. Whether it’s savoring fresh seafood along the beachfront, witnessing a spectacular Indian Ocean sunset, or wandering through centuries-old stone streets, Zanzibar promises a truly memorable escape that captivates all who visit.
My Reviews
Custom tour takes all the hassle out of traveling
Leslie helped me craft a personal tour in Costa Rica, with excellent accommodations, activities and transport. Her advice was invaluable in helping me decide how and where to spend my time, and her travel partners in the US and on the ground provided fantastic and seamless service.

I was on a trip a friend booked and unable to get back home due to a blizzard. I knew Leslie and called her- she was able to help me quickly secure a hotel near my airport and get me situated for another night!

Our Italian trip of a lifetime!
Leslie was awesome and we put her through a lot. She planned a custom trip to Italy (Venice, Florence, Sorrento, Pompeii, Capri,Amalfi,Positano & Rome) for our family group of 11 and it was spot on! She booked all hotels, tours and transportation and it all went smoothly. We were all very happy with the outcome. She provided a lot of expertise and made key recommendations on hotel locations and tours that made our trip run smoothly. She was always available and I felt very confident in her guidance and advice. She's now planning our next family trip to Greece!

Tropical north Queesland, a dream destination
We wanted to get to Queensland before the Olympics makes it too crowded. Leslie knows the area and helped arrange a tour of the "best of the best" hotels in northeastern Australia. Can't say enough about how great this trip was.
