Wind down on white sands, wander Stone Town’s alleys and sail into sunset on a wooden dhow. With Afro-Views Tours & Safaris, we match beach vibe (quiet or lively), tide-friendly swimming, and seasonal winds to your dates—so the island time feels perfect after your safari or Kilimanjaro climb.
Not all beaches behave the same: winds and tides shape your day. We’ll steer you right.
North/Northwest (Nungwi, Kendwa): minimal tides, best for all-day swimming & sunsets.
East/Southeast (Paje, Jambiani): wide tidal flats, kitesurf hub, boho cafés.
Northeast (Matemwe): quieter feel; access to Mnemba snorkeling.
Stone Town: culture, food, history; great 1–2 night start/end.
East coast sees dramatic low tides (amazing sandbanks, long walks; swim at mid/high tide or hotel pools). North/west coasts stay swimmable most of the day—great for kids and casual bobbing.
Fly into ZNZ (Abeid Amani Karume). Private transfers: ~1 hr to northeast/east; ~1.5 hrs to southeast. We align flight times with check-in and tide windows when possible.
Zanzibar is majority Muslim. Beachwear is fine on resorts; dress modestly in towns/villages. During Ramadan, some cafés adjust hours—sunsets are magical with iftar markets.
Zanzibar is year-round. Your comfort depends on wind, rain and what you want to do.
Warm, calmer seas on north/west; clear snorkeling days; festive buzz. East coast can be breezier—good for light kites and long swim windows at mid/high tide.
Drier, cooler evenings; best kitesurfing on the east/southeast; crisp air for Stone Town walks. Book early (peak months).
Showers possible; quieter beaches and softer pricing. Great for relaxed couples and value seekers. Some boats may reschedule in heavy weather.
We balance beach quality, tides, activities and transfer time for the mood you want.
Everything can be tailored—pace, hotel style, kites or culture focus, and budget.
Northern Circuit highlights then beach reset. Choose Nungwi/Kendwa for easy swimming or Paje for kites.
Time Serengeti to the herds, add Stone Town & a quieter northeast lagoon stay.
Stone Town + a simple beach base. Perfect add-on after Kilimanjaro.
Quiet northeast lagoon, private sandbank lunch, couples spa—timed to tides.
North & northwest (Nungwi/Kendwa). The east/southeast has dramatic low tides—great for walks and kites, but time your swims.
Yes—shallow lagoons, hotel pools and calm dhow cruises. We pick north/west beaches for easy splash days and time boat trips to calmer seas.
We can package regional flights and private transfers to fit your safari schedule and check-in times.
Seaweed farming is part of east-coast life (beautiful at low tide). Jellyfish appear seasonally in small numbers—lifeguards and boats monitor conditions.
