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?

Had a close friend’s 50th organised by Jenny which included making end-to-end arrangements for each person in the group (traveling to SA from various countries) and saw us meet in Johannesburg, then fly to Kasane and on to Chobe (Ichingo Chobe River lodge) before heading to Zimbabwe where we stayed at another great game lodge and had a superb itinerary designed for the group that included sunset drinks on a large riverboat on the Zambezi and white water rafting the following day (not for the faint of heart!). Apart from it being a trip of a lifetime, the communication with everyone and overall organization from Jenny was exceptional. I now recommend that any friend of mine looking to travel to that part of the world get in touch with Jenny.

Absolutely fantastic - been able to see so much of South Africa in two weeks (which we didn’t think would be possible)! Great range and quality of places to stay, awesome variety of activities and locations and catered the trip to our own preferences amazingly! It was an added bonus to be able to meet her in person - so warm, considerate and chatty! I would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to see what South Africa has to offer, and the email communication beforehand was reassuring. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

Jenni organised a fantastic holiday for our family. Understood what we were looking to achieve, chose some amazing places to stay including tents at Kruger, which all added to the adventure .Jenni has been so helpful from the start and available throughout the holiday. Definitely recommend Jenni to anyone visiting South Africa.

Africa A-Z, and Jenny McGregor in particular, made our Zanzibar trip an absolute dream from start to finish. Jenny took the stress out of planning completely — every detail was organised seamlessly, from flights to transfers to the hotel itself, and she was on hand for every question along the way. The hotel she recommended was magnificent, exactly as she promised, and the perfect backdrop for the biggest moment of our trip: we got engaged there! Jenny somehow knew it would be the right setting before we did, and it made the whole experience even more special. From start to finish, it was five-star treatment all round — from Jenny's care and attention, to the hotel's service and setting. We couldn't have asked for a better trip, and we cannot recommend Jenny and Africa A-Z enough. If you're after a seamless, unforgettable holiday, book with them.

A-Z travel was amazing. Jenny couldn’t have been more helpful. Not only did she organise our booking and shuttle from Windhoek to Sossusvlei and then onto Swakopmund, but also our hotel in Swakopmund and the airport transfer when we left. Very professional and quick response to queries I highly recommend Jenny and A-Z travel

I used Africa A - Z to plan a trip to Namibia (Sossusvlei). Jenny was AMAZING in helping before the trip - she really went the extra mile to find a way of managing payment that I felt comfortable with. The trip itself was also great - transport and accommodation had no issues. Thanks so much for the great service!

We booked a trip to Kenya with Africa A-Z and had the best experience! Jenny was very helpful with excellent communication and provided a few options for what we were looking for. She gave us loads of pre-trip support/advice and was responsive whilst we were away as well. Would highly recommend booking your travel with Africa A-Z!

I had an amazing experience with this agency! Our trip to Namibia was truly wonderful, and I’m especially grateful to Jenny for her help. The excursions were perfectly organized, and communication was always quick, friendly, and warm. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip.
