Family friendly things to do in Zanzibar

Zanzibar offers a wealth of family-friendly activities that ensure both fun and education for travellers. Start your adventure at the Jozani Forest, where you can take a guided tour to see the rare red colobus monkeys in their natural habitat, while the kids learn about the importance of conservation. Next, head to the Spice Farm, where the whole family can enjoy a sensory journey, smelling and tasting exotic spices, and even trying their hand at traditional cooking. Don’t miss a visit to the historic Stone Town, where you can explore winding alleys filled with vibrant markets, fascinating architecture, and captivating tales of the island’s past. For a day of relaxation and play, Nungwi Beach boasts powdery sands and gentle waves, perfect for family fun, with plenty of child-friendly accommodations nearby. Finally, take a boat trip to Mnemba Atoll, where your family can snorkel among colourful coral reefs, spotting tropical fish and perhaps even a sea turtle. For a comfortable base, consider staying in Nungwi or Kendwa, where family-friendly hotels often feature spacious suites, kids’ clubs, and attentive service, ensuring a relaxing experience while you explore the island’s wonders.

"Enjoyed our stay. Our room was small and tight with a sea view, but unfortunately just a glimpse of the sea from our 1st floor room. Lovely buffet breakfast!"

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely first class holiday and resort. Food was exceptionally good, both in the a La Carte restaurants and the buffet, grounds were immaculate, staff were friendly and warm. The pool areas and raised beach were fabulous. If you had a question or needed help with something, dial 9 and reception staff sorted it without ever needing to leave your room. Without doubt one of our best holidays ever and we will be going back next year without a doubt. The only note of caution would relate to disabled or elderly clients, the resort is well advertised as large and sprawling and dotted around a hillside, so walking about for some might be difficult. We loved with Island and would rate this holiday overall as a 10/10!"

Sunshine Marine Lodge

Sunshine Marine Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The eco-friendly resort is a little gem. The cuisine is varied and excellent—even by Italian standards—with an outstanding breakfast offering both sweet and savory options. The air-conditioned bungalows, equipped with mosquito nets, were serviced multiple times a day, including the spraying of mosquito repellent.Efficient and very friendly staff.Top-notch security. A quiet, secluded location. The resort is connected to two other properties under the same ownership, featuring long beaches to explore and two additional restaurants.Highly recommended"

My Blue Hotel

My Blue Hotel

8/10 Good
"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"
