What to see and do in Zanzibar

Underwater wonders and traditional flavors


One of the must-do activities in Zanzibar is a diving safari, where you can discover the underwater wonders of the coral reefs. At the Mnemba Atoll, off the coast of Matemwe, you can observe rich marine biodiversity, including tropical fish, dolphins and whale sharks in season. An unforgettable experience for ocean and marine-life lovers.

On the southeast coast, Paje Beach has become a true paradise for kitesurfing, attracting beginners and professionals from all over the world. Its constant trade winds, shallow turquoise waters and the vast lagoon create ideal conditions both for learning and enjoying spectacular maneuvers in a dreamlike natural setting.

Back on land, the local markets of Stone Town, such as the Darajani Market, invite you to stroll around and let your senses delight in the aromas and flavors of fresh spices, exotic fruits and handcrafted products. Don’t forget to try the famous “Zanzibar Mix” or urojo, a thick and spicy soup known for its flavor and texture. To complete the experience, enjoy an authentic Swahili dinner with typical dishes such as pilau and ugali.
