Romantic Zanzibar: Make the Spice Islands Your Wedding Paradise
The famous ‘Spice Islands’ situated off the North coast of Tanzania have long captured our imaginations. The mystical name “Zanzibar” immediately conjures images of gently swaying palm trees on pristine beaches lapped by azure waves.
There is plenty to do on the island when not relaxing on one of over 25 stunning white beaches. Snorkelling and diving are popular pastimes and there are many magical reefs and islands in the area to choose from. Swim with dolphins, take in a spice tour or visit one of the picturesque fishing villages, where life remains simplicity itself. Your stay in Zanzibar would be incomplete without a trip to Zanzibar’s historic Stone Town. This Unesco World Heritage site is the cultural heart of the island, where little seems to have changed in 200 years. Its winding alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques and grand architecture are enthralling.
Zanzibar and the surrounding islands are without a doubt a paradise worth exploring and what better reason to visit than for a romantic wedding and idyllic honeymoon experience!
The Karafuu Beach Hotel is a 4 star resort located on the East Coast of Zanzibar Island. Karafuu means ‘clove’ in Swahili and is what made Zanzibar famous. Located 65km from Stone Town, it is the perfect venue to host a relaxed yet unforgettable wedding.
The Karafuu was awarded the accolade of being “Tanzania’s Leading Resort” at the 2008 World Travel Awards. This is the second time the hotel has received this award, its first commendation being in 2006.
The hotel has 89 rooms, built in an environmentally sensitive manner from local materials. Amenities include a fully equipped dive and sports centre, boutiques, tennis courts, a swimming pool and beauty salon. The three restaurants and Masai Village dining venue are complemented by a cocktail bar and pool bar.
Celebrate your big day on the beach or climb aboard the floating restaurant for a candlelit banquet. Feast on sumptuous seafood and sample traditional Swahili cuisine whilst sipping on the local speciality ‘Madafu’.
Soak up the romance of this Spice Island paradise – the perfect destination for an unforgettable wedding! Contact our wedding team to book your dream destination today – weddings@greenroute.co.za
