After an African safari filled with adventure and excitement, the many nearby Indian Ocean Islands offer the perfect place to relax and reflect on a beach safari.

Known as the Spice Island, Zanzibar's east coast offers pristine beaches, clear, sparkling waters and charming fishing villages. The barefoot paradise of Mnemba Island, off the north eastern coast of Zanzibar, is surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and balmy ocean waters.

The tropical island of Mauritius, with its miles of dazzling beaches naturally protected by a coral reef, is a much loved destination. Randomly scattered across the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles invites guests to explore its dense forests and uncrowded beaches. Scattered in the Mozambican channel are the five exquisite islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago.
