I did the same thing in 2005, kili, safari and 6 days on the island. Fantastic memories. My advice about beaches is to head up to the north of the island Kendwa or Nungwi. However, they are a bit of a trek from the airport and Stone Town, so if you want to visit the island capital it will take 2/3 hrs each way by car/taxi. | I stayed at a small place, White Sands Beach Hotel, which is next to the Kendwa Rocks resort. Its run by a dutch couple, so very laid back. Just what i needed after climbing kili. Its perfectly located along the best beach i have ever seen and a short walk along the beach takes you to the Kendwa Rocks bar, which is a bit more lively in the evening. The food is excellent and well priced, likewise for the drinks prices. More lively still is Nungwi, a little further north. Its a bit busier and has the occasional full moon party if your timing is on. Its easy enough to get to in the evening by taxi. Here's a picture of the view from the bar/restaurant area. the email address is: info@zanzibar-white-sands-hotel.com ![]() hope this info helps.

If you want more laid back and quiet, go to the beaches in the east. | holamundo Nina+Mark Post Count: 4 Msg: #4 11 weeks ago, October 16th 2009 | Hi, I would also suggest the beach at the east coast. They have some decent snorkeling places. The best place to stay there is Robinsons place - a very unique and tranquil place - it is like heaven. | enjoy your trip, nina Svitar Dartan Slobodan Post Count: 6 Msg: #5 7 weeks ago, November 13th 2009 | Best Beaches in Zanzibar? - I'm going to be in Zanzibar in January for 4 days after climbing Mt Kilimanjaro.
