Zanzibar Island
Set in the gorgeous Indian Ocean, Zanzibar Island is the exotic paradise dreams are made of. Swaying palm trees dot the white sandy beaches, flanked by a clear blue ocean and colorful coral reefs. Even though Zanzibar’s tropical beaches are truly out of this world, this paradise is so much more than just an exotic beach destination. Discover also the rich culture and history of Stone Town and exciting activities, from sailing and snorkeling to spice tours, jungle walks and whale & dolphin watching.
Exotic escape
Located in the Indian Ocean, 25 km (15 miles) off Tanzania’s coast, Zanzibar is the perfect spot to escape from the world. It is certainly the largest and most popular island of the Zanzibar Archipelago. These islands are also called the Spice Islands because of its rich history in spice trade and many spice plantations. Even though today tourism is the main industry on Zanzibar, cloves remain the archipelago’s leading domestic product.
Lovely beaches
Imagine endless beaches of white sand, a turquoise ocean filled with tropical fish, dolphins and turtles and beautiful orange sunsets. Hence, Zanzibar’s beaches are regarded as some of the world’s most beautiful. It’s not easy to pick a favorite, since they are so many amazing beaches to choose from. A few of the loveliest beaches on the island are Nungwi, Kendwa, Matemwe, Paje, Jambiani and Bwejuu. Zanzibar is hard to beat if you are looking for lazy days along the beach or exciting watersport activities.
Cultural Stone Town
Without a visit to its historical center Stone Town, a trip to Zanzibar would not be complete. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a well preserved example of the Swahili coastal trading towns of East Africa in the 19th century. Wander the labyrinth of narrow streets and discover the lovely restaurants, fabulous little shops, colorful fabrics and glorious old buildings. Stone Town has a unique blend of cultures, food and architectural styles and is therefore a fascinating and charming destination.
