Zanzibar Island
Zanzibar Island
The Spice Island of Zanzibar lies off the coast of Tanzania, a short flight from Dar es Salaam. This island has a fascinating history - once the commercial center of East Africa, it was also the last place on earth to abolish slavery.
Ancient Islamic ruins and grand old merchant homes, with the Indian Ocean providing the backdrop – this beautiful little island offers far more than your average beach destination.
The sheer beauty of this island, from the architecture to the crystal blue waters, will sweep visitors off their feet. Zanzibar is an ideal spot to relax and unwind after all the excitement of a bush safari. It’s also perfect as a romantic honeymoon destination.
We recommend spending a day in historic Stone Town, followed by a stay on the lush and quiet northeast coast. We are familiar with all the best spots on the island, and have some recommendations for the kind of small, intimate, laidback places we love sending our guests to.
