Africa’s Tropical Paradise

Zanzibar

Journey Beyond Maps Zanzibar

Variety is the spice of life

Officially part of Tanzania, Zanzibar is distinctly different to the mainland. This is your chance to savour the richness of Swahili culture. Learn a language with Arabic echoes, glimpse a secret wedding through a carved wooden doorway, or dive into the ocean from a dhow.

Zanzibar’s wealth was founded on spices; be sure to visit a plantation during your stay. The capital, Stone Town, is a wonderful place in which to lose yourself – think winding alleys and vibrant night markets.

Then there are the beaches…

Island hopping in Zanzibar

The neighbouring island of Pemba is even more relaxed, with exclusive resorts and world-class diving and deep-sea fishing. To go back in time or slow time right down, there is nowhere finer.

Zanzibar is a marvel for the senses. Every sight and smell is provocative, inspiring a sense of the old and new.

Zanzibar seems a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland.

A walk on the beach is worth a thousand words.
