For some of us, our idea of a holiday is doing nothing. Late mornings, leisurely swims, strolls through the gardens, some poolside reading, followed by a quiet dinner are all we need. Whatever pace suits you, you’ll find it at Zanzi Resort. The grounds are ideal for early morning jogs. The ocean and pools offer a choice of open-sea swimming or meditative laps. Those who enjoy reading and writing will find plenty of nooks to sit and contemplate. If you want to be pampered, enjoy an open-air massage or detox with our hot stone spa, a Japanese ganban'yoku. Lie on heated body-sized stones and feel the cleansing effects as the toxins leave your body, your circulation improves, and your skin glows.
If you fancy something a little more adventurous, we can arrange boat rides, sunset cruises, or snorkeling day trips. We’re very proud of our Masai heritage and will happily treat you to a Masai dance and share our music and culture with you.
The resort has their own dhow(sailing boat), so we went to prison island by sailing directly from our restort jetty. it was a spectacular experience. We chilled at the upper deck for some sunbathe on the way sailing there and our guide showed us around when we reach the prison island.

You must also take their boat to Prison Island - an amazing way to travel (with a beer!), jump into the water and Prison Island itself has giant tortoises, one of which is 191 years old.

When you visit Stone Town you will have a feeling that the time stopped 200 years ago. There is a clear and fascinating imprint of the rich history and architecture. You can spend your time meandering through a labyrinth of small narrow alleys and streets, old and renovated houses made from coralline rock, mosques and ground Arab houses. The unique signature of this town is in more than 500 brass-studded, carved, wooden doors made by local craftsman. Stone Town was declared a World Heritage Site City by UNESCO in 2000.
Zanzibar is known as an Island of Spices. We invite you to the Spice Farms where you will find different spices like cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper and many more. Guides will tell you interesting facts about your favourite flavours and scents and you will experience spices, tropical fruits and herbs with all your senses.
Went with a small group of colleagues; the tour guide was great, easygoing and knowledgeable, and so much fun to see how various spices are grown, harvested and processed.

The Seaweed Centre is the HQ of a local social enterprise that enables the women of Paje to harvest seaweed and then make a living by transforming it into desirable organic soaps, scrubs and essential oils (also involving cloves, coconut and local honey). Come here to shop or arrange a fascinating tour of the seaweed farms and processing center. It's in the center of the village, signposted off the tar road just north of the main junction. You can also have a go at making soap yourself, while drinking a surprisingly sweet-tasting seaweed smoothie. You can observe how the mamas’ combine traditional and modern techniques to produce natural and organic skin care products. All the products are handcrafted, fragranced with pure essential oil and made only from fine African ingredients.

Zanzibar's first and only National Park is centred on Jozani Forest, the largest area of mature forest found within Zanzibar. Perhaps one of the most famous and endearing residents of the Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park is the Zanzibar Red Colobus monkey. Found only on the main island of Zanzibar, the Zanzibar Red Colobus is recognised as a separate species and is said to be endemic to Zanzibar. A visit to Zanzibar is not compete without seeing one of the rarest monkeys in Africa, with less than 2000 remaining in the world.

The 9-hole layout on the west coast of Zanzibar - the course meanders through an old sand quarry and past a mangrove swamp with two of the finishing holes routed alongside the Indian Ocean - the beach runs alongside the par four 7th and forms a spectacular backdrop to the par three 9th which is literally by the water - just two steps and you can dive in the warm waters. There is a nice variety of holes - short and longer threes, drivable short par fours and a couple of fun par fives - to test your game and offer the pleasure of playing.
