After Christmas, Easter is the most important holiday in most countries and Tanzania is no exception. This is one of the oldest Christian holidays. The occasion marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Outside of Christian communities, the Easter holiday is a very joyful occasion for many who celebrate with their loved ones, sharing and cherishing special moments with the ones closest to their heart.

The Easter holiday, during the Holy week, begins on Holy Thursday, followed by Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday. Since easter is a national holiday, many businesses are closed on these days and everyone enjoys Easter vacation.

For those looking for ways to enjoy Easter 2018, you’ve come to the right place, whether you want a budget family holiday or simply some fun ideas for how to celebrate at home.

WAYS TO CELEBRATE:

• Light candles.

• Dress up in special Easter outfits to go to church for prayer and worship.

• Decorate your home with beautiful lilies.

• Gather some small gifts (see below for ideas) and surprise your kids with Easter baskets.

• Cook a special meal for your loved ones. Lamb is a common Easter holiday food as are hot cross buns.

• Hold or participate in an Easter egg hunt or an egg-painting competition.

• Have a bonfire on the evening before Easter as they do in Europe.

GIFT IDEAS FOR KIDS:

Easter is a wonderful time to give gifts to the kids in wrapped Easter baskets. For young girls, pretty earrings or bracelets or coloured egg-shaped accent lights can be good gift options. If your son or daughter is a connoisseur of crafts, you can present him or

her with a window painting kit. The kit should contain easy-to-clean brushes and easy-toremove paint. A set of clays that could be baked in the oven can also keep the creative child totally engrossed for hours in making a beautiful pot for Easter flowers. A set of spiralling musical airplanes to hang over the crib can be a wonderful Easter gift for babies. For toddlers, jigsaw puzzles, blocks, bubbles, and stuffed animals are all great Easter gift ideas. P.S. – Hide the kids’ baskets and have them search for them for an extra-fun surprise!

GIFT IDEAS FOR ADULTS:

You may want to celebrate Easter by giving gifts to your spouse, fiancé, boyfriend or girlfriend, friends, co-workers, or neighbours. Chocolates and baked goods are very popular, as are varieties of tea, coffee, and wine. Some people may appreciate flowers, a new book, jewellery, clothing, accessories such as a scarf or handbag. You can also give away tickets to an upcoming show, concert or special event. Even adults may enjoy searching for baskets on Easter!

Tanzania’s year-round temperate climate and wide range of hotels and resorts means you don’t have to go far to enjoy some time in the sun. This is particularly good news for families, making an Easter holiday much more affordable. Here are some hotels and restaurants for those looking to get away over the break.

The capital is anzibar City, located on the island of nguja. Its historic centre is Stone Town, which is a World eritage Site.

Portuguese invasion and control of the Swahili Coast in the late 1 th century ended the golden age of the archipelago, although the Omani Arabs returned to power less than a century later. Today, many of the winding streets

and high townhouses of old Stone Town remain unchanged and visitors can walk between the sultan’s palace, the ouse of Wonders, the Portuguese fort and gardens, the merchants’ houses, and the Turkish baths of the old city.

BAWE ISLAND

Bawe Island has some of excellent snorkeling spots. Around a 30-minute boat ride and slightly more expensive than the boat to Prison Island, it is much less visited. In 1 0, the island was used to anchor the rst telegraph cables to anzibar linking it with Aden, South Africa and the Seychelles. further line was run across to Stone Town, into the old xtelcoms building, now the anzibar Serena Inn.

The beach is excellent at low de, with unusual stone forma ons, and there is some

good snorkelling to be had on the island’s reef.

PRISON ISLAND

Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island is one of the most popular des na ons for day trips from Stone Town. Just a short boat ride away, the island o ers excellent snorkeling, a nature trail, small beach and the unusual a rac on of a sanctuary for giant tortoises. Despite its name, the closest the island has come to actually being used as a prison was by its rst owner, a wealthy Arab who sent unruly slaves there for discipline. In 200 , many of the islands old buildings were restored, and Changuu Private Island Paradise was opened, o ering 15 deluxe co ages all on the seafront, a ording maximum seclusion and privacy. There are also 12 standard rooms in the old quaran ne area, with fantas c views back across to Stone Town.

Promoting Tanzania Domestic and International Tourism

I was very happy with the attendance by the travel trade in Arusha, we had 400 agents and tour operators from 237 different companies visiting Spotlight from Dar, Arusha, Moshi and even few from Nairobi. The trade really enjoyed the live face to face networking interaction and the exhibitors found the expo very productive indeed.

Spotlight TravelExpo Arusha was a live face-to-face success Expo targeting Arusha- & Moshi-based Travel Agents & Tour Operators selling interregional travel. The Expo was held on 22 January 2026 at Gran Melia. It was a half-day event with a large number of trades from Arusha and Moshi and few from Kenya and Uganda who attended.

More than 45 exhibitors from mainland Tanzania, Zanzibar

and other East African countries participated in the show. The Spotlight TravelExpo Arusha is held at the beginning of each year to give a platform for Hotels, esorts and odges from East African Countries to meet with Arusha & Moshi based regional Tour operators and Travel agents to contract 2023 rates and update them on new developments.

The “Spotlight TravelExpo”
