Things to do in Zanzibar Island, Zanzibar Archipelago: The Best Gear Rentals

February 18, 2022 Yuk Petri

The Zanzibar Archipelago, located in the Indian Ocean 15 miles off the coast of Tanzania, is a breathtaking spot to escape from the world. You’ll enjoy clear, turquoise-blue water; shallow sandbars perfect for wading; and many small, nearly deserted islands virtually unvisited by tourists. Explore the World Heritage Site of Stone Town, Zanzibar City’s old quarter. Or just go beach to beach between tiny fishing villages—each one's better than the next.

Reviewed By 624elint

Really recommend this place! I took a 3 day/9 hour training with Mbuzi as my instructor and it was great! He made me feel safe with the kite and was very clear in his instructions. I also like that it’s in Jambiani and not in Paje because it’s not as crowded with other kites. Thank you Mbuzi, Julia and the rest for some nice days!
