Zanzibar Lodges
Zanzibar is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, about 40 kilometres off the coast of Tanzania. The accommodation is spread along the coasts, from Nungwi in the north to Jambiani and Paje in the south-east.
The accommodation ranges from boutique hotels to luxury resorts, and Wildfinder Safaris plans each stay individually according to your wishes. The page Zanzibar Holiday shows how beach days on the Indian Ocean combine with Stone Town, spice tours and water sports such as diving, kitesurfing and sailing.
