Zanzibar, officially known as Unguja, is an archipelago of islands off the coast of Tanzania. Its name alone evokes images of swaying palm trees, dhow-sailed horizons, and the warm scent of cloves and cinnamon drifting through narrow stone alleyways.
Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar City, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its labyrinthine streets are lined with ornate carved wooden doors, Arab-influenced architecture, and bustling bazaars. A walking tour through Stone Town is a journey through centuries of Swahili, Arab, Persian, Indian, and European history.
The beaches of Zanzibar are world-class. Nungwi in the north offers calm, crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming and snorkelling. Paje on the east coast is a kitesurfing hotspot. Kendwa Rocks is famous for its full moon beach parties.
