Zanzibar Family Vacation

Zanzibar is ideal for a family vacation as it has a lot more than beaches to offer. Kids will have plenty of other activities to keep them happy at any age. Snorkeling and diving are fantastic so a great time to introduce younger children to this. Or for older kids, who are already qualified divers or can snorkel, it will open their eyes to the beauty below.

Visit the Jozani Forest to see the monkeys, birds, and butterflies. Many of the resorts offer kid’s clubs too.

We would highly recommend combining your Zanzibar family holiday with a safari in Tanzania.

These are our family-friendly hotels in Zanzibar. There are many other hotels so if you don’t see it here, use the ‘Get Quote Now’ button.

Don’t forget we need the exact ages of children at time of travel and your preferred rooming configuration? Where possible, inter leading rooms or separate rooms etc?
