What it feels like to be there…
Dolphins follow your boat as you sail across the warm ocean. Leap in for a swim over ornate corals, with a friendly sea-turtle for company – this is how life should be! Return for a luxuriant massage before eating the freshest of fish from a beachside barbeque, then retire to a sumptuous bed. [slideshow]

What the AdventureTemples travel community says…
Zanzibar is a melting pot of African, Middle Eastern and European traditions, blending cultures, foods and architectural styles. This makes a historical tour of Stone Town a fascinating addition to a holiday where relaxation and adventure are almost too easy to come by. After a day on, in or by the sea, retreat from the sun to a shady Zanzibari banda for a cool, comfortable rest. We’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
