Spicy Island of Zanzibar

Surrounded by beaches, Zanzibar Island is a jewel in the ocean. Covering 1666 square kilometres, Zanzibar is a very substantial island lying 35km off the coast of mainland Tanzania.

Also known as the Spice Island, the beautiful island of Zanzibar is full of culture and history, shinning white-sand beaches with palms swaying lazily in the sea breeze, together makes Zanzibar a fabulous place to explore as well as a dream to relax and unwind.

The Island is heaven for water sports activities such as swimming, snorkelling, diving with lots of luminous fish or just grazing over nearby coral gardens and pods of dolphins frolic offshore. The smooth beaches make the day dazzling in the sun.

The historic Stone Town sits in the island’s capital, Zanzibar. The historic heart lets you imagine yourself floating back in time. The Spice Tour gives the opportunity to head out into the live plantations to see, touch and taste Zanzibar’s many spices in its natural environment. Some of the exotic flavours include cloves, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and other spices that have made the island famous.

If you wish to have Zanzibar’s eclectic street food, Forodhani Garden’s food market is your destination.

Zanzibar contains an incredible range of accommodation options. The best places to stay are normally located near the beaches affordable for all types of travellers.
