Luxury African Safari Tours

ZANZIBAR

Zanzibar is an island off the East Coast of Tanzania, North of Dar es Salaam. It is a semi-autonomous part of the United Republic of Tanzania and comprises numerous small beautiful tropical islands, and two large ones (Unguja (also known as Zanzibar) and Pemba). It has a long trading history with the Arab world and is still largely a muslim state. Stone Town, Zanzibar’s capital and a World Heritage site, is a bustling market and a World Heritage site. The white soft sand and crystal clear azure water of the Indian Ocean truly is paradise, and there are a plethora of luxury lodges and hotels to relax in after a safari in Kenya or Tanzania.

Zanzibar is a popular destination for weddings and family holidays, with its variety of activities such as sailing, swimming with dolphins, and diving. It is also ideal for those more active, with PADI dive centers dotted all over the Island.

STONE TOWN

Stone Town is the capital of Zanzibar, located in the 19th century. It is known for its palaces, mosques, and old Arab houses, as well as small shops selling paintings, clocks, and chests. The market on Creek Road is a great place to explore on foot, but visitors should be aware that it can be noisy due to the five-times-daily calls to prayer from the mosques. 

There are many options for staying in Stone Town, including hotels, guesthouses, and restaurants. Zanzibar, Stone Town and Africa are all great places to stay when in Africa.

MAFIA ISLAND

Mafia Island is one of the five sleepy, tropical islands in the Indian Ocean, known as the Mafia Archipelago. It is a 30-60-minute flight from Dar es Salaam and is home to lush vegetation and wildlife, with coconut palms, baobabs, cashews, mangos and papaya trees in the interior. 

On the coast, there are mangrove forests and tidal flats attracting sunbirds. In 1995, the Mafia Island Marine Park was formed to protect the archipelago’s reefs, and there are more than 50 kinds of coral, including giant table corals, huge stands of blue-tipped staghorn corals, and more than 400 species of fish. Dive sites outside the bay are often only safely accessible from about mid-September to the end of February due to local winds and currents.

PEMBA ISLAND

Pemba Island is an untouched and pristine island of great beauty and fertility, separated from the mainland of Tanzania and Zanzibar. It is known for its forests, swamps, mangroves, hidden beaches and lagoons, and the ruins of mosques and tombs. Pemba Island is also a magic island, a center for ju-ju traditions of medicine and wizardry. Chake Chake harbor is mainly used for swimming and fishing. The monsoon climate is characterized by seasonality of its precipitation.

Monsoon precipitation is concentrated into the high-sun season due to uplift by maritime equatorial and maritime tropical air masses. Orographic uplift is an important mechanism for promoting precipitation. The low-sun season is characterized by a short drought season when high pressure inhibits precipitation formation. The Asian monsoon has a distinct dry season from October to May when the interior of Asia is a region of high pressure. A wet season from June to September occurs when the wind changes direction and blows in the region of low pressure.

Winds from the equator bring a lot of moisture and rain to Pemba, an island with a population of 500,000. Traveling in Pemba is a magical experience as the villagers are eager to talk to anyone who passes and small children will give you their biggest smiles as you pass by. Unlike Unguja (Zanzibar), Pemba is hilly with gentle undulating hills and deep verdant valleys.
