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.

"A/C in room 100 was not working at all, someone looked at it and still not cooling. Should have washer and dryer’s for the guest to use. 50$ for 1 load of clothing not folded. All in all the stay was great, people were friendly and the hotel was beautiful and clean."

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!"
