Welcome to Tanzania! —
Watch wildebeest gather in herds to graze out on the plains, while elephants meander past, and flamingoes wade through the shallows. Sleepy villages are clustered along the coastline, and Mount Kilimanjaro forms a dramatic point on the horizon.
Off the coast is the island of Zanzibar, with some of the best beaches in the world and some of the richest marine life.
Start your holiday at the AHG Bay Mlilile Beach Hotel 4*, by the sea before setting off on an adventure during a Tanzanian safari in 1 night or 2 nights in Saadani National Park, returning to your hotel in Zanzibar for a final day or extended stay.

Your Destination —
Zanzibar
The historic spice island of Zanzibar lies just off the coast of Tanzania, and promises everyone a once-in-a-lifetime holiday experience, whether that be at the tail end of a thrilling safari or independently as an island adventure. Zanzibar caters for every traveller, whether that be those looking to backpack on a budget, or those interested in enjoying a luxurious and exotic getaway.
In terms of attractions, Zanzibar is as varied as it is beautiful, ensuring guests in search of diversity are constantly surprised. Stone Town should be number 1 on any tourist's bucket list. Charismatic, full of life and rich in history and culture, the quaint, cobbled streets of Stone Town are a delight to explore and offer up no end of treats, including the relaxed seafront promenade, the faded colonial buildings, the colourful food markets and unique touches such as the Aldabra giant tortoises at Prison Island (a short 30-minute boat ride from Stone Town itself). Given its historical focus on the spice industry, an informative spice tour is also highly recommended!
For those who simply wish to lay back, soak up the sunshine and unwind with a cocktail in hand, Zanzibar's many beaches are also destined to delight. Favourites include Nungwi and Kendwa in the north of the island, where tourists are sure to be awe-struck by an untouched Indian Ocean paradise.
