Flight Deals Zanzibar

Which airlines do connect Europe and Zanzibar (also consider a stopover/overnight stay in Dar es Salaam and the ferry crossing)?

Direct connections from German-speaking countries

These airlines are the most convenient for your visitors from Germany, Austria and Switzerland:

• Condor: Flies nonstop from Frankfurt (FRA). There are also connecting flights from almost all major German cities, as well as from Zurich, Prague, Vienna, and other European cities. (Within Germany, there is also a rail-to-plane ticket partnership with Deutsche Bahn.)

• Discover Airlines (Lufthansa Group): Also offers nonstop flights from Frankfurt (FRA) (often seasonally increased in spring and winter). (Within Germany, also with a train-to-plane ticket partnership with Deutsche Bahn.)

• Edelweiss Air: The best choice for Swiss travelers with direct flights from Zürich (ZRH).

• TUI fly (Netherland): for travelers from North Rhine-Westphalia or the western German states, as prices from Amsterdam (Schiphol) are often significantly lower than German fares.

Top connections with a stopover (hubs)

Many travelers choose these airlines because they often offer more flexible flight days or cheaper prices:

• Qatar Airways: Flight via Doha (DOH). Considered one of the best airlines worldwide, it offers very short layover times.

• Emirates: Flight via Dubai (DXB). Often combined with FlyDubai for the final leg to Zanzibar.

• Turkish Airlines: Flight via Istanbul (IST). Known for its excellent value for money and connections from almost every German regional airport and a Star Alliance member. Departures also from Bari or Naples.

• Ethiopian Airlines: Flight via Addis Ababa (ADD). Often the cheapest option for budget travelers.

• Oman Air: Flight via Muscat (MCT). A charming alternative, often with very modern aircraft.

Other European and regional airlines

• KLM: Direct flights from Amsterdam (AMS) (often as a triangular flight via Dar es Salaam or Kilimanjaro).

• Neos Air: Connections from Milan-Malpensa (MXP), Rome-Fiumicino (FCO) and occasionally also Verona (VRN).

• Air France: Connections from Paris (CDG).

• Kenya Airways: Flight via Nairobi (NBO). Ideal if you want to combine your holiday with a safari in Kenya.

Overview of flight times from various providers

Note: Some airlines with direct flights have a layover where you remain on the plane and some passengers get on/off.
