The Zanzibar Collection is a privately owned collection of beautiful hotels, inspired by the exotic heritage of Zanzibar. Consistently scoring high marks across the board for service and attention to detail, these properties also offer some of the best beaches on Zanzibar. Why we love The Zanzibar Collection: The Zanzibar Collection (which also includes the lovely boutique property in Nairobi, Palacina) is owned by the Raguz family, and they couldn’t be more hands-on and passionate about providing what is truly one of the best examples of African hospitality we’ve seen.
