Safari Air Link

The spice islands of Pemba, Mafia and Zanzibar offer a uniquely East African experience  - from the winding, narrow streets of Stone Town to the many world-class beaches the region offers. The Zanzibar Archipelago is the quintessentially exotic destination.

On the mainland, destinations such as: Ras Kutani, Saadani National Park, the former Imperial German Capital of Bagamoyo and the modern day Swahili mega-city of Dar es Salaam provide a different perspective to the traveller.
