Discover the Untouched Beauty of Zanzibar

Just a short flight from the mainland lies Zanzibar, a jewel of the Indian Ocean perfect for your beach vacation packages to Tanzania. This archipelago is renowned for its pristine beaches, historical Stone Town, and a vibrant mix of cultures. Imagine wandering through Stone Town's narrow alleys, each corner whispering tales of ancient times, while the aroma of spices fills the air. A visit to Zanzibar is akin to stepping into a living museum, where history and hip culture seamlessly blend.

Pemba and Mafia: Hidden Paradises

While Zanzibar is often the star, Pemba Island and Mafia Island quietly await those who seek solitude in nature's embrace. Pemba, with its rolling hills and lush greenery, offers diving experiences that rival the best in the world. The unspoiled coral reefs teem with diverse marine life, making it a diver's paradise. Mafia Island, on the other hand, promises an intimate encounter with nature, where snorkeling in the turquoise waters reveals sightings of gentle whale sharks and playful dolphins. These islands are fantastic inclusions in Tanzania vacation packages for those yearning to connect with the untouched beauty of the sea.

Savour the Flavours of Tanzania's Coast

No journey is complete without tasting the local cuisine, and Tanzania's coast offers a feast for the senses. Fresh seafood is abundant, with dishes often flavoured with the famous Zanzibar spices. Imagine biting into tender, grilled octopus or savoury coconut curries that leave a lingering taste of the ocean. For those with a sweet tooth, indulge in Zanzibar's famous 'Halwa,' a delightful sweet treat that perfectly complements a day by the beach.

Experiencing Swahili Culture

Beyond the beaches, immerse yourself in the rich Swahili culture that defines Tanzania's coastal areas. The warm hospitality of the locals, combined with the rhythmic beat of Taarab music, provides a cultural backdrop that enhances the beauty of the ocean vistas. Participate in a traditional dance, or simply soak in the melodic sounds that are intrinsic to life here. It's not just a beach holiday; it's a cultural journey that enriches the soul.

Adventure Awaits: Activities Beyond the Shore

For those who need a little more than just lounging under the sun, Tanzania's coast offers a wealth of activities. Paddle through the crystal clear waters or try kite surfing for an adrenaline rush. Explore the vibrant underwater world through scuba diving or embark on a sunset dhow cruise to witness nature's spectacular show of colours as the sun bids farewell to the horizon. Each activity is framed by the serene backdrop of the ocean, turning every moment into an unforgettable memory.

Plan Your Tanzania Beach Getaway

Planning beach vacation packages to Tanzania opens up a world of serenity and exploration. Travel experts suggest a blend of beach relaxation with safari adventures for those seeking the ultimate Tanzanian experience. Witness the great migration in Serengeti and then unwind by the calming blue of Zanzibar's beaches. The combination of thrills on land and serene seascapes creates a balanced journey that truly encapsulates the spirit of Tanzania.

Embark on a Journey of Discovery

Tanzania is a land of contrasts and surprises, where the roar of a lion in the wild harmonizes with the gentle lapping of waves on a pristine beach. Whether you're a thrill-seeker, a cultural enthusiast, or a sun worshipper, the country extends an invitation to explore its depths and embrace all its beauty. Why wait? Let Tanzania beach holidays be the cornerstone of your next great adventure, where every tide brings a new story, and each grain of sand holds ancient secrets yet to be discovered.

Touching base after our trip. As usual you did a great job helping plan and execute an amazing travel experience!! Everything was fantastic. Especially our hotel location. Since it's connected to the Victoria station it made getting around very easy. Thanks again for your help I'm sure we'll be booking our next trip soon...Leigh Ferris

We recently completed a trip to Crete, Greece - our third trip with GoWay - and I have run out of superlatives to laud their efforts. This was a self drive trip, and as has been our experience with GoWay, we were permitted to customize the standard offered itinerary to suit our personal preferences. Brooke, our agent on this trip, went the extra mile to make all the adjustments we requested, including providing for an English-speaking guide at the Phaistos archeological site. The hotels which Brooke booked on our behalf were truly excellent, and - again, per our wish - just outside of the urban chaos of Heraklion, Rethymno and Chania, but close enough to readily access the cities' benefits. Each hotel was a beachside sanctuary, and we spent several serene, idyllic days never leaving the hotel, and yet there was plenty of time for more distant and adventurous sight seeing. I cannot overstate how happy we have been with our GoWay experiences - most notably in their willingness to listen to our preferences and make those manifest in the itinerary - and this most recent trip just confirms our already positive opinion of GoWay, and we will be certain to consider them again for our next travel adventure.Frank Venuti

Venessa Lloyd at GoWay organized a trip to Africa for us- We just returned last week. It was very well organized and included everything we requested, and more. We did two safaris - one in Tanzania and one in South Africa. They were both excellent, with first class accommodations and guides. We absolutely would recommend GoWay and Vanessa to anyone. Sandra

Overall, the hotel and tours were amazing. We had issues with communicating with the driver. At times I was asked where, I was gone. The local company handled the situation and there were minor issues after. I would recommend a local English-speaking guide every day. My clients loved the trip. The area we stayed in had many restaurants and local markets nearby. I recommend the cooking class, flamenco dance show, wine tasting and taps tour, and the city tour. Jolynn Tizeno

Ani M was absolutely amazing to work with! I actually chose Goway for our group trip because of her recommendations. She was the only agent who took the time to explain that we really needed to split our travels into two separate trips if we wanted to experience everything on our wish list, and I really appreciated her honesty and guidance. Throughout the planning process, Ani was incredibly helpful and answered ALL of my questions, even when I asked the same ones more than once! She was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. I enjoyed working with her and her team so much that I already have another group trip planned with her, and I expect we'll be planning another one soon! The guides during our Scotland trip were wonderful as well. Ian Short was the BEST! He was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy the experience. He even worked in sightseeing stops we didn't know we needed to see, and those little extras made the trip even better. The entire experience was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. I'm already looking forward to our next adventure to Ireland with Goway and working with Ani and their team again!Angela Butler

We recently traveled to Portugal and had the most wonderful experience. As our first venture overseas, we decided to search online for travel assistance. We happened across Goway Travel and are so glad we did! Michael Keon, our Destination Specialist, is extremely proficient and knowledgeable in his profession. "Thorough" is an understatement. He assisted every step of the way from the moment we stepped on our flights, transfer arrangements, hotel accommodations, train travel and multiple tours/outings tailored to our specific needs/wish list. He provided unparalleled guidance and support during the planning process and was always available to discuss any questions/concerns. His communications were always prompt and concise. Without a doubt, our best trip to date...there will be no hesitation to contact Mr. Keon for future travels. Joanna Lynn Mays Michael Andrew Mays Joanna Mays

What made this experience great was Cedric Wai. Had a client going to Asia and this is Cedric's wheelhouse since he is from there. Everything was wonderful. Everything went smoothly. The individual tours were wonderful and all the guides were exceptional. A lot of traveling-the flight was very good on Cathay Pacific would highly recommend their airline seats were comfortable and spaced well. Being on an airplane for 16 hours sucks in general, but other than being a little sore from being stuck in one place all was good. Thank you so much for all your help and the trip was wonderful and everything that it should be! Next trip will be much more relaxing, sitting still for a while on a beach somewhere ha ha!Careen Sullivan
