Tanzania Beaches

The shores of East Africa are lapped by the Indian Ocean; brilliantly blue and beautifully warm, creating beaches to dream about. The coral sands of the mainland and islands are soft, white and powdery and the sea teems with colourful marine life. These are fabulous beaches, too good to miss, and the perfect complement to the excitement and adventure of safari.

This glorious Swahili coastline caters to every whim. Action or relaxation, air conditioning or a sea breeze, beach-shack-chic or deluxe resort with all the bells and whistles – all styles of accommodation can be found on a Tanzania beach.  The general vibe is easy going and laid-back, in keeping with the glorious natural setting.

There is excellent diving and snorkelling on the reefs around Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia; big game fishing is available in places and some beach locations also have sailing boats, kayaks and kite-surfing.  Let us know what sort of activities you enjoy, and we will match you with the lodge that best fits your requirements.  Be aware that the cost of the various activities does vary from lodge to lodge.
