Zanzibar archipelago comprises the islands of Unguja (also called Zanzibar) and Pemba with a number of islets adjacent thereto. It is part of the United Republic of Tanzania but administratively there is an autonomous government for matters that are not part of the union agreement.

Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia Islands are part of a coral reef barrier along the Tanzania Coast.  The resorts here are becoming recognized as among the top in the world.  .  The crystal clear water, beautiful beaches and luxurious vegitation form a paradise that provides a wonderful combination of Swahili culture, superb diving and wonderful cuisine.  A visit to any of these islands is easily added to one of our Tanzania or Kenya safaris.

 

Zanzibar is immediately accessible from the mainland by express sea boats or by scheduled flights.  Pemba is most easily reached by ferry from Zanzibar, and Mafia is best reached by charter flight from Dar Es Salaam.
