Tanzanian beaches

Not only after an exhausting trekking tour up to Mount Kilimanjaro, Mawenzi or Mount Meru it's time to relax at one of the beautiful Tanzanian beaches in the warm Indian ocean. Whether you go to the east coast of Tanzania or to one of the islands Zanzibar, Pemba or Mafai, you will find what you are looking for.

All these beaches have a relative high tide, which means that a stony or coral underground becomes visible from time to time. For those who want to go into the water frequently it's advantageous to hava a pool close by.
