Zanzibar

Zanzibar evokes images of sandy beaches, swaying palm trees and turquoise waters – the perfect island paradise. It can be all that and more.  Zanzibar’s beaches are perfect for a lazy beach holiday when all you want to do is relax and recharge your batteries, but it’s also has easily accessible outlying islands, home to some world class dive sites. Throw the bustling world heritage site of Stone Town into the mix, with its colourful back-street markets, superb local cuisine and spice tours, and we’d say Zanzibar has got it covered.

It’s easily accessible from Dar es Salaam and combines well with a Tanzania safari if you wish, or simply visit it as a stand-alone destination.

Accommodation on Zanzibar comes in all shapes and sizes too, from romantic honeymoon spots, to exclusive resorts and classy boutique hotels. Families are catered for with family-friendly resorts and hotels and there are beaches with gentle calm waters for safe-swimming.

THE LOOP ZANZIBAR

We are a small resort located in the center of the Jambiani village on the east coast of Zanzibar, Tanzania. The village of Jambiani is considered the most fascinating and exciting village of Zanzibar, because, it has remained unchanged despite the development of tourism over time, with fishermen leaving the sea every morning with their dhow boats and women who grow seaweed in their seaside gardens.

You can enjoy it at low-tide hours for hiking or biking (with fat bikes at your disposal at The Loop Sports Center), while during high-tide hours you can experience the sea by kitesurfing, windsurfing, kayaking, or sailing with catamarans or rubber dinghy to snorkel on the coral reef, having fun in the crystalline waters of the Indian Ocean
