About Zanzibar Travel

Zanzibar Travel is a family owned and managed organisation. Michael Sweeney, the Managing Director, has had an association with the island for 35 years. This puts us in a unique position to help you:

Get the best from your holiday

Zanzibar Travel - tailors your expectations, interests and budget with the range of attractions and accommodation the island offers>.

Our individual advice and assistance is based on:

  • a personal knowledge of Zanzibar - so we can provide you with comprehensive information about the island
  • close working with locally based operators and regular liaison with the management of hotels - ensuring we give you objective, up to date information about where to stay, what to do and how best to do it.
  • our association with the Zanzibar Commission for Tourism - keeps us abreast of the latest developments on the island.
"Thank you so much for helping us with arrangements for our honeymoon - it was such a wonderful trip."
Richard & Catherine Ker - October 2006.

Twisted PalmsHave an itinerary which suits you

Zanzibar Travel - offers flexible holiday itineraries; we plan the holiday around what you want, rather than you having to fit in to set packages. We can:

  • Organise a complete holiday - including your accommodation, all transfers and flights (booked with our associated ATOL agents).
  • in some circumstances we can book accommodation and transfers only - if you prefer to organise your own flights.
  • include a safari on the mainland of Africa - on the way to or from Zanzibar.
"Transfers between hotels were very efficient and always on time. Checking in at Zanzibar for our return flight was interesting and we were very glad we had the help of your agent." The Wainwright Sisters - September 2006.

Have accommodation to suit you

Zanzibar Travel - can book you in to any hotel on the island; we are not tied to working with a limited number of hotels.

We have stayed at most hotels on the island (so can usually even advise which are the best rooms) and know many of the owners and managers personally.

Working with, and knowing personally, locally based providers in Zanzibar means that more income from your visit benefits the local community.

"We would recommend Zanzibar to everybody - such a friendly & beautiful island with such lovely people. " Julia & Adam Saunders - September 2006.

 "My commitment to Zanzibar stems from the time I spent there as a child. I have found the childhood memories a reality; the island is as beautiful, mystical and intriguing as I remember; the people are welcoming and optimistic about their future. I genuinely feel visitors will appreciate the beauty and exotic charm of Zanizbar" Michael Sweeney, Managing Director. Top of Page
