Mahe Island
Beside a tranquil bay on the east coast of Zanzibar, holidays to Marumbi promise peaceful days on white-sand beaches.
Marumbi, a palm-fringed part of the Zanzibar archipelago, in Tanzania, has lots to see all year-round. Here, East Africa's most scenic and secluded beaches teach you exactly what it means to slow down. Show you're a good student by enjoying the sunset over a quiet cocktail beside the Indian Ocean.
Wildlife awaits in Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, a natural paradise that's a 30-minute drive from Marumbi. Pick up a paddle and set off on a guided kayaking tour through a floating network of mangroves. Keep an eye out for endangered monkeys and colourful tropical birds as you drift along the streams and babbling waterways.
Wander west across the island and you'll find yourself at Mji Mkongwe, also known as Stone Town. This is the historic epicentre of Zanzibar City, famed for its restaurants and hawker markets offering sizzling street food. Come with your pockets full and your stomach empty, so you can sample your way around Africa's most varied cuisine.
