Zanzibar

Tanzania

"Spice Island Paradise with Turquoise Waters & Swahili Soul"

Zanzibar, the 'Spice Island' off Tanzania's Indian Ocean coast, is one of Africa's most captivating destinations. UNESCO-listed Stone Town's labyrinthine alleys reveal carved wooden doorways, ornate mosques, crumbling palaces, and bustling spice markets - a living testament to centuries of Arab, Persian, Indian, and African trade. Beyond the historic town, Zanzibar's north and east coasts offer some of the Indian Ocean's most beautiful beaches: Nungwi and Kendwa's powder-white sands, Paje Beach's kitesurfing, and the extraordinary snorkeling of Mnemba Atoll. A Zanzibar spice tour is a sensory feast unlike any other.
