We love Zanzibar’s breath-taking coastline with its palm-fringed powdery white sands, its turquoise ocean waves hiding pristine corals and biodiverse tropical fish species. Stone Town is famous, a testament to the ancient Swahili coastal trading towns of East Africa, keeping its unique town setting perfectly, many fine buildings reflecting its particular culture, a blend of the cultures of Africa, the Arab region, India, and Europe over more than a millennium. 

Often called the “Spice Islands”, as a result of their cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg production.

Did you know?

Located in the centre of the island, Jozani Forest National Park is well worth a visit as a half day trip so accompany dedicated park rangers on guided walks to learn about the various fauna and flora to be found in the woods and mangrove swamps. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot the rare and endemic Red Colobus Monkey.

Highlights

  • Do a tour through small patches of indigenous forest and dense thickets then head to the clay plains covered in grass where wild animals are prevalent including leopard, civet cat, mongooses, two species of monkey, lemur, the African pig, forest duiker, pigmy antelope, about 20 species of bats, and 30 forms of snakes.
  • Watch the fishing boats come in then buy fresh ocean fish from the local fishermen who rely on this food for survival
  • Sail to the tiny Mnemba Island, a privately owned paradise boasting exquisite reefs for diving and snorkelling, open to the public, and the island can be rented as an exclusive use getaway for you and your friends
  • The delightful uninhabited Chumbe Island became Zanzibar’s first marine reserve so it offers one of the best diving experiences in this part of the Indian Ocean, thankfully with strict controls so that turtles, rare birds and some 370 fish species can multiply in peace.
  • Spice tours in Stone Town take you down cobbled streets to taste delicate and robust spicy foods and drinks.
