Kenya's safari airline, Safarilink, has launched a new route to Zanzibar.

From July 1st, Safarilink will be flying to the new route four times a week - operating on Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

The new route expansion to Zanzibar will be a great opportunity for travelers to connect from popular safari destinations, Masai Mara and Laikipia, to the storied destination.

Why Zanzibar - Zanzibar along with Timbuktu, Kilimanjaro and Marrakech, are all destinations that conjures extraordinary, exotic images of Arabian Nights scenes colored with dhows, spices and treasures as well as evoking darker stories of traders and adventurers on the hunt for elephants, gold, power, and slaves.

Zanzibar is an archipelago made up of Unguja and Pemba Islands, and several islets, which are characterized by beautiful sandy beaches with fringing coral reefs, and the magic of historic Stone Town.
