Hotels in Zanzibar, Tanzania

Zanzibar is a tropical archipelago off Tanzania's coast, famous for its white-sand beaches and spice farms. The climate is warm year-round, with dry winters (June to October) perfect for snorkeling in the turquoise Indian Ocean or diving at Mnemba Atoll, while rainy summers (March to May) let you explore Stone Town's 19th-century coral stone buildings and haggle at the Darajani Market. During the dry season, you can also catch the sound of taarab music in local nightspots, a blend of African, Arabic, and Indian influences, or visit the Jozani Forest to see red colobus monkeys.
