Zanzibar is one of the most popular places in Tanzania and Africa in general. And the reason is not surprising: It is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. There are a lot of activities in Zanzibar that will ensure that you have the time of your life. 

If you are planning your honeymoon in Zanzibar, then here is a quick guide to help you tour the Tanzanian region. 

Take a walk on the beaches

The beaches in Zanzibar are one of the best that you'll find anywhere. Clear blue waters and white sand makes for a beautiful background for your Instagram pictures. 

It would be a sacrilege to visit Zanzibar and not take a walk on the beaches hand-in-hand with your new spouse. 

Take a tour of Stone Town

Some people say that Stone Town is the heart of Zanzibar, and they are not wrong. In fact, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. Stone Town boasts a series of large maze-like streets where you are guaranteed to get lost in, but you’ll have a lot of fun while trying to find yourself. 

Go Shopping

Darajani market is one of the biggest markets in Tanzania and it offers a lot of different items for your purchase. You can buy shoes, hats, clothes, fruits, spices, and many more.

You should definitely buy some mementoes and keepsakes to remind you of your time in Zanzibar. In fact, you should shop ‘til you drop.  

Boat Cruise

Zanzibar is an island, and as such, there is an opportunity to take boat trips and cruises. You can either choose to be part of a cruise party, or you can choose to have a private boat trip with your spouse. 

Even better than an actual boat ride, you can actually go swimming with dolphins on your ride. Sounds splendid, right?

Try some local foods

What’s the point of travelling to a new place if you don’t try some local cuisines? Zanzibar has a wide array of local foods for you to try. It has a lot of different foods from not only Tanzania but also some other African foods as well. You are guaranteed to find something that you will love enough to try more than once. 

Zanzibar is a beautiful place to have your honeymoon and you are bound to make memories that you will cherish for a lifetime.
