About Zanzibar
Spice, sand and Stone Town
Off the coast, north of Dar es Salaam
Zanzibar is a Swahili archipelago off Tanzania’s coast, where white-sand beaches meet the coral-stone alleys of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site layered with Arab, Persian, Indian and European history.
Days here run from spice-farm tours and Jozani Forest’s red colobus to dhow sails, reef diving and long lunches of grilled seafood — the classic beach finish to a safari, where the journey gently continues.
