Zanzibar Beach Trip: 3days/2nights

Zanzibar – the Spice Islands

Just the name, Zanzibar, evokes dreams of romance and mystery and the reality that will not disappoint Zanzibar; the name includes the main Island, Unguja, and its sister Island, Pemba – has for centuries attracted seafarers and adventures from around the World. Now it welcomes a new generation of explorers – those who have come to marvel at the rich heritage, reflected in the architecture and the culture of the people.

Visit Zanzibar’s historic Stone Town – another of Tanzania’s seven UNESCO World Heritage sites. Relax on the dazzling white, palm fringed beaches, where the azure waters of the Indian Ocean beckon swimmers, divers, fishermen and water-sports enthusiasts alike.

Breathe in the fragrant scents of cloves, vanilla, cardamom and nutmeg and discover why Zanzibar is called “The Spice Islands”.

Explore the forests, with their rare flora and fauna. Or visit some of the many ancient, archaeological sites. Spend a few days here before or after a safari on the Tanzanian mainland or, better still, allocate a week or two and immerse yourself in the magic that is Zanzibar.
