Zanzibar is great to visit all year round, but February is one of the best months for watersports and exploring what Zanzibar has to offer.

Although Zanzibar has no large wild mammals, smaller animals and marine life contribute to unique experiences.

Unique wildlife such as the elephant shrew, tree hyraxes, and the red-colobus monkey is endemic to Zanzibar, with the red-colobus monkey being the star animal of the region.

Zanzibar is not just about its stunning attractions; it’s also a melting pot of cultures! With influences from Arabia, Persia, India, and Europe, this region has a truly unique and vibrant identity that makes it even more special.
