The hotel offers À la carte, alfresco dining in the main restaurant ‘Saruche’, along with Asian-fusion tapas and sharing platters in ‘Cinnamon’, the cocktail bar, where you can also find an exclusive list of mouth watering cocktails.
Activities
For the energetic traveller there are numerous activities available at the Z Hotel. Zanzibar’s warm turquoise waters and stunning coral reefs offer the perfect haven for divers, water-skiers and deep sea fishing enthusiasts.

Excursions throughout Zanzibar are also available with a wealth of history waiting to be discovered. Much of this can be found in the Island’s capital, Stone Town. Guests wishing to explore more of the Island will find an array of excursions on offer including visits to Jozani Forest – home to the endangered Red Colobus Monkey – Spice Tours, Prison Island and Mnarani Turtle Sanctuary.
Relaxing by the pool with a cocktail, exploring Zanzibar’s history or skimming across the sea in one of the “doughnuts” (not for the faint-hearted!) you are assured an exciting variety of activity at the Z Hotel.

Rachel resides on the vibrant West Coast of Canada, specifically on Vancouver Island. She has a profound love for travel, having explored nearly 30 countries. However, it was a solo journey to Africa that truly ignited her passion. Upon stepping foot in Botswana for the first time, Rachel was captivated and knew she needed to explore more of the continent. Since then, she has ventured solo to Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, and Kenya, where she traveled with Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps.
It was during these experiences that Rachel realized her desire to be a part of the Gamewatchers team.
