Zanzibar is an archipelago, with the primary island being Unguja, though it is often simply called Zanzibar. It is famous for once being the commercial centre of East Africa and today combines ancient Islamic ruins, noble Arabic houses and miles of white sandy palm fringed beaches and coves.
The ocean offers warm clear blue waters, idyllic islands, excellent reefs for snorkelling and diving, fantastic deep-sea fishing, water sports and of course delicious fresh seafood. And if that wasn’t enough, there are many interesting excursions to be had, like visiting the spice plantations to see how cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cardamom and others are grown, or touring Jozani Forest to see native wildlife, including the endangered red colobus monkey, and the coastal mangrove ecosystem.
Zanzibar is home to Stone Town, an historic, bustling city of narrow alleyways and coral stone buildings. Take an architectural tour of this stunning area during your stay to see sights like the House of Wonders, Palace Museum, Arab Fort, Hamamni Persian Baths, The Old Dispensary, St. Joseph‘s Catholic Cathedral and the Anglican Cathedral, as well as the beauty of the old Zanzibari homes and their stunning doors.
When you’re not out and about, enjoy incredible East African hospitality and service as you relax on beautiful beaches and enjoy clear, turquoise waters!
