Stunning sands

The weather is generally excellent off the East African coast of Tanzania and the variety of beach holiday destinations might come as a surprise to those who think that Tanzania is just a safari and trekking spot.

The Zanzibar Archipelago has some of Africa’s best beaches: gorgeous, long stretches of fine white sand fringed by palm trees. You’ll find a wide variety of hotels and lodges: something to suit everyone from luxurious, all-inclusive resorts to ‘barefoot luxury’ private islands and simple, inexpensive beach retreats.

The nearby Mafia Archipelago doesn’t have the same long stretches of squeaky white sand, but it is generally much quieter. Here a few tiny, intimate lodges offer a more personal feel and marvellous value. Staying here you can spend days on deserted sandbars, surrounded only by shallow coral seas; Mafia is very special indeed.

The mainland beaches also rarely disappoint. Pangani, Bagamoyo and Sadaani, the only National Park in the world where you’ll share the beach with lions, are some of Tanzania’s proudest attractions.
