Accessible Zanzibar beach holidays

Finish your Tanzania safari with warm water and white sand. We pick Zanzibar beach hotels with level paths and accessible rooms, arrange step-free transfers from the airport and plan Stone Town visits around the old town's narrow, uneven lanes.

Accessible beach stays we offer

Good to know

  • Stone Town's lanes are narrow, with some steps and uneven paving. We plan a route along the waterfront and Forodhani Gardens and use a vehicle where possible.
  • Beach access varies by hotel: some have boardwalks or beach wheelchairs, others soft sand only. We check this for you.
  • The Reef Experience semi-submarine lets you see coral reefs without snorkelling; ask us about boarding assistance.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zanzibar wheelchair accessible?

Parts of Zanzibar work well for wheelchair users, especially modern beach resorts with level paths and accessible rooms. Stone Town is more challenging, so we plan accessible routes and vehicle support.

Which Zanzibar hotels have accessible rooms?

Access varies by room type and season. We check door widths, showers and the route to the beach with each hotel and send you photos before booking.

How do I get from the safari to Zanzibar?

Most guests fly from Arusha, Kilimanjaro or the Serengeti to Zanzibar in about 1–2 hours. We arrange airport assistance and an accessible vehicle on arrival.
