One of the best things about travelling with kids is that there are so many more family-friendly options these days. When it comes to choosing a hotel for your holiday in Zanzibar, Tanzania, why not opt for a family hotel? They offer plenty of extra amenities and services that will make your holiday with kids that much more enjoyable.

Here are four reasons why you should choose a family hotel when travelling to Zanzibar with kids:

1. They often have children's clubs and activities on-site, which will give your kids plenty to do while you're busy relaxing by the pool or on the beach.

2. Family hotels usually have spacious rooms with more beds and seating areas than regular hotels, so there's plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax.

3. They typically have community areas like play parks and pools, which give kids a great space to run around and have some fun.

4. Family hotels often have buffet-style restaurants, which means that you'll be able to get your kids fed and watered without having to spend ages in a kitchen.
