Zanzibar

Zanzibar is where the African bush meets a tropical paradise. The UNESCO-listed Stone Town — a living labyrinth of Arabic-Swahili architecture, carved wooden doors, spice merchants and century-old mosques — sits at the heart of the island. North of Stone Town, Nungwi and Kendwa beaches offer white sand, calm lagoons and brilliant sunsets. A working spice farm, a traditional dhow cruise, snorkelling over living coral reefs and a sandbank picnic complete the quintessential Zanzibar experience.
