Tanzania

Zanzibar

Spice island shores, Swahili heritage and warm Indian Ocean water.

Overview

Zanzibar is the natural counterweight to a safari: slow days on white sand, dhows on the horizon and evenings in Stone Town's lantern-lit streets.

The island's north and east coasts offer the clearest swimming water, while Stone Town holds centuries of Swahili, Omani and Indian history in its doorways.
