Tanzania, located in East Africa, is known for its stunning scenery, plentiful wildlife, and rich cultural legacy. It shares borders with Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west, and Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique to the South. To the east is the Indian Ocean, where the lovely island of Zanzibar, part of Tanzania, is a famous tourist destination.

The country is famous for its diverse wildlife and is home to some of the most iconic national parks and game reserves in Africa. The Serengeti National Park, known for the Great Migration of wildebeests and zebras, attracts safari enthusiasts from around the world.

Beach Vacations in Zanzibar

Zanzibar, officially known as the Zanzibar Archipelago, is a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania located in the Indian Ocean, about 25 to 50 kilometers off the Tanzanian coast. It comprises several islands, with Unguja (commonly referred to as Zanzibar Island) and Pemba being the largest and most popular.

The best time to visit Zanzibar’s beaches is during the dry season from June to October, when the weather is warm, sunny, and ideal for swimming and snorkeling. December to February, the short dry season, is also a good time for beach vacations.
