Zanzibar Christmas and New Year 2023

Arrive in Zanzibar and travel to beautiful Tiki Beach Club, in the stunning village of Bwejuu, on the Tanzanian island of Unguja, part of Zanzibar. This stunning beach front location will be your home for Christmas and New Year 2023/24. Unpack, unwind and settle into paradise.

Our Christmas Eve beach and pool party (yep, even the pool is on the beach!) is the ultimate welcome meeting. Join the rest of our Tribe as we are given the warmest of welcomes by traditional local dancers and start the festivities with pool party, BBQ and introductions from our local team in Zanzibar who will share all the opportunities you can explore during your 12 days in Tanzania. 

The big day starts with Silly Santa at breakfast. Similar to the secret version only this one is sillier and with a kids version and an adults one! Then it's time to for Christmas Dinner on the beach and we mean a traditional Christmas Dinner - Turkey, stuffing and all the trimmings - served on the beach in beautiful Bwejuu. 

For those who want to carry on the festive celebrations it's a short 20 minute cab ride to Jambiani for the Crazy Monday's Jam Session at the famous Coral Rocks Resort on the beach front at Jambiani. Party right through to boxing day because tomorrow is your day to do as you wish.

After all the festivities, it's time for Boxing Day at your own pace, your own way. You may want to head to Paje, just ten minutes away, where you can enjoy kite-surfing, water sports and fishing as well as a vast selection of bars and restaurants or simply relax at Tiki Beach Club and enjoy doing nothing. 

We'll take a short bus ride to Zanzibar's capital, Stone Town, where we'll take a 20 minute boat ride across to Nakupenda Sandbank. Here we'll set up the sound system and fire up the BBQ as our DJs take over while you relax or party as you wish. You'll be provided with snorkeling equipment so you can explore the stunning Indian Ocean and all that lies beneath. We sail back to Stone Town as the sun sets. 

The Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania, is one of the few places in Africa where the endangered black rhino can be found. The reserve is also home to 40,000 hippos, 120,000 buffalo, wildebeests and zebras as well as 4,000 lions, leopards, hyenas and crocodiles who inhabit an area the size of Denmark. The Selous Safari is a full day adventure that includes a short 20 minute plane journey to the entrance of the reserve. This is sold as a separate excursion and is not included in the price of the trip. There will be a selection of activities taking place at Tiki Beach and Stone Town across the two days, for those who choose not to do safari or are on their alternative day.

Visit one of Zanzibar’s best kept secrets, Kuza Cave. An ancient limestone jungle cave where you can relax in the crystal clear turquoise fresh water. The area around the cave is a peaceful nature preserve for wildlife that includes Red Colobus Monkeys, colourful butterflies, many birds, chindi and bush babies. 

The famous Kae Funk Beach Bar is home to the best sunset spot on the South East coast of Zanzibar and The Tribe will. be heading here for a pre NYE warm up as we soak up the sunset and the perfect beach party vibes. Then it's back for an early night ready to celebrate the arrival of 2024.

We'll host our very own Tribe New Years Eve Party at our Tiki Beach Club base - and we are not holding back! Guest DJs, amazing entertainment, superb production and a selection of complimentary local drinks as we party our way into 2024, Tribe style. 

The only way to celebrate the first day of 2024 is on the beach, of course! Our bottomless NYD brunch will take place at the stunning and discreet Mtende beach front bar, just a short distance from Bwejuu as we soak up 2024 and all it has to offer. 

Experience the ‘real Zanzibar’ - the one that lies hidden between the palm trees and the resorts. A unique opportunity to experience the amazing Zanzibari hospitality and culture in the total safety of a fully insured and registered professional team of quad bikers. Our Tribe will be split into two groups, with two riders on each quad.

A last change to relax and soak up everything that our Tribe has experienced during the last two weeks. Grab some souvenirs of your experience during a shopping trip to Zanzibar's capital, Stone Town, then enjoy a few precious hours soaking up that precious sunshine! 

A final farewell breakfast as we say 'see you soon' to our incredible hosts at Tiki Beach and Mustapha's Place and to all the new friends we've made during the past two weeks. We'll share our most magical moments before your private transfer takes you to the airport for your return journey.
