A haven of marine life and coral reefs
A range of family-friendly boutique and luxury hotels line the coast of this island paradise
Zanzibar is an amazing location for water based activities. Some of the more adventurous activities, like windsurfing and kitesurfing, have age restrictions, but there are many alternatives suitable for younger children, such as kayaking and boat trips. Most, if not all, of the hotels on the island provide access to PADI diving centres, many of which can cater to children as you as eight. Many of the coral reefs are protected marine parks, providing an excellent educational opportunity for older children to see the rich life the Indian Ocean has to offer.
Zanzibar also has many land-based attractions including the Jozani National Forest and its population of Red Colobus monkeys, and Stone Town which is bursting with exotic culture and fascinating Swahili history. You can of course simply sit on the beach and bask in the hot African sun while the kids take part in activities organised by the hotel Kids Club!
A Zanzibar beach holiday can be made even more special with a trip the Tanzania mainland and the safari experienced of a lifetime. Just ask one of our experts to help build your family’s once-in-a-lifetime holiday.

Zanzibar Trip Inspiration

Our Zanzibar specialist, Ruth says:
"Zanzibar is a brilliant choice for a family holiday the country is safe, friendly and full of variety. There’s space to slow down together on quiet beaches, but also plenty to explore, from snorkelling in warm, shallow waters to visiting spice farms and historic Stone Town. It’s relaxed, enriching and genuinely welcoming."
