Zanzibar island trips arranged from Moshi

Zanzibar is an archipelago off the Tanzanian coast, about 35 kilometres into the Indian Ocean. The main island, Unguja, holds a UNESCO-listed historic quarter in Stone Town, spice farms dating to the Arab trading era, white-sand beaches, coral reefs, and a variety of marine activities. It is the most natural extension of a northern Tanzania safari - most visitors combine a few days on safari or Kilimanjaro with 3 to 5 days on Zanzibar before flying home. Maluku Global Tours and Safaris arranges transfers, accommodation, guided excursions, and full island packages whether you are travelling independently or as part of a longer Tanzania itinerary.

Getting There

How to get to Zanzibar from mainland Tanzania

Flight to Zanzibar from mainland Tanzania

By flight

The fastest and most convenient way to reach Zanzibar from Moshi, Arusha, or the Serengeti. Several domestic airlines operate daily scheduled flights to Zanzibar International Airport. Flight time from Arusha is approximately 1 hour. We arrange domestic flight bookings as part of any safari-plus-Zanzibar itinerary.

Zanzibar ferry from Dar es Salaam

By ferry from Dar es Salaam

Several ferry services operate daily between Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar Stone Town, with a crossing time of approximately 2 hours. This is a viable option if you are passing through Dar es Salaam anyway, though adding Dar to your itinerary specifically for the ferry is rarely the most efficient routing from the northern circuit.

Zanzibar International Airport

Direct international flights

Zanzibar International Airport receives international flights from several regional hubs including Nairobi, Addis Ababa, and Dubai, as well as some European charter routes during peak season. If Zanzibar is your first stop in Tanzania, you can fly in directly and connect to the mainland for your safari or Kilimanjaro climb afterward.
