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.

Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park are simply spectacular. There’s no place quite like the massive crater or the migration-covered plains.

We booked a Viking cruise (Venice to Athens) through Goway Travel and it was fantastic! Our agent Kimberly was extremely helpful with air travel options, choosing excursions, and suggestions for pre and post cruise activities. Great communications and a really enjoyable experience.Stanley

We booked through Paula Williamson in the Toronto office, a Great Journeys New Zealand trip and it was fantastic! Although I had already scheduled a trip on The Ghan train in Australia, Paula helped me work it all as one huge 45 day trip including Bali Indonesia. My favorite was the New Zealand trip as I’d never been there before and the tour guide Toni was so spectacular and caring. I’m so pleased Goway was involved and I didn’t require any additional assistance once We'd started the first flight March 8. If we do another overseas trip, Goway will be involved.John

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak

Our first trip with Goway was a total joy. Shalini worked with me to plan a trip for 5 adults to Portugal. She is a gem! Always responded quickly and offered great suggestions for activities, worked with our preferences and created an ideal itinerary for a week in Porto and Lisbon. The tours were excellent with engaging local guides. The food tour in Lisbon was a highlight. Everything was top notch - flight schedule, hotels, activities, even the weather! Patricia

It is with the utmost pleasure and heartfelt appreciation that I share my exceptional experience working with Taha Colombowala, Goway's distinguished Groups Specialist. Our journey together began in October 2023, when Taha took the helm in orchestrating what was to be a remarkable group trip to Ghana. When unforeseen circumstances necessitated a change in plans, Taha demonstrated his extraordinary expertise by recommending Morocco as an alternative destination — a suggestion that proved to be nothing short of absolutely brilliant! From the very first interaction to the final farewell, Taha has been a consummate professional in every sense of the word. His lightning-fast response times, encyclopedic knowledge of destinations, and remarkable ability to pivot seamlessly under pressure are truly second to none. What sets Taha apart, however, is not only his professional acumen but also his warm, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic attitude toward accommodating the unique needs and personalities of every member of our group. Taha Colombowala is, without question, a shining star within the Goway family, and an extraordinary ambassador for everything the brand represents. I cannot recommend him highly enough — he has exceeded every expectation and then some. Working with Taha has been an absolute privilege, and I look forward to many more incredible adventures ahead!DESIREE DUCKETT

We recently completed a custom Vietnam tour organized by Goway, and it was everything we asked for and more. We would definitely choose Goway again. The true highlights of our trip, however, were our two guides: Vu Dang and Thien. They truly made our experience unforgettable. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. Their pride in their Vietnamese heritage shone through in every conversation, making our learning experience both deep and engaging. We learned so much in such a short time, and it was always fascinating. I would highly recommend these two guides to anyone visiting Vietnam!Laura Derbyshire

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw
