Search & Book
This deal does not have a specific expiration date, but due to the limited number of seats at this price, we recommend booking quickly. Departures are available until March.
You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on the TUI fly Belgium website, since the website’s in english unlike the dutch version.
Editor’s Note: While TUI’s seat pitch is tight, the Dreamliner is a modern aircraft, and a direct flight to Zanzibar for this price is a rare find from Europe.

TUI fly Netherlands does not have its own frequent flyer program and is not a member of any major airline alliance. Therefore, you cannot earn miles for these flights.

Information & Tips for Zanzibar
Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania, is known for its historic Stone Town, spice farms, and white-sand beaches like those in Nungwi and Kendwa. The local currency is the Tanzanian shilling, though US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas. Prices range from budget to mid-range, with meals and accommodations generally more affordable than in Western countries. The weather is tropical, with hot, humid conditions year-round; the driest months—and most popular for travel—are June to October.
Getting around Zanzibar can be a bit inconsistent. Within Stone Town, most places are walkable, but the narrow, winding streets can be confusing. For longer distances, dala-dalas (shared minibuses) are cheap but often crowded and unreliable. Taxis and private drivers are more comfortable but relatively expensive. Roads outside the main areas can be rough, and signage is limited, so renting a car is only recommended if you’re confident navigating on your own.
