Beyond Uganda
Zanzibar
Zanzibar is the Indian Ocean archipelago off Tanzania that turns a wildlife safari into a complete holiday: historic Swahili culture in Stone Town, powder-white beaches, coral reefs and aromatic spice farms. It’s the classic relaxation cap to a mainland safari, short enough to slot onto almost any itinerary.
