Zanzibar is the jewel of the Indian Ocean — a semi-autonomous archipelago off the coast of Tanzania that has captivated travellers for centuries with its exotic blend of African, Arab, and Indian cultures. Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a labyrinth of narrow alleys, carved wooden doors, bustling markets, and historic palaces.
Beyond the fascinating cultural heritage, Zanzibar’s beaches are among the most beautiful in the world — powder-white sand, turquoise water, and spectacular coral reefs teeming with colourful marine life. The famous spice plantations produce cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, and black pepper — the fragrances that gave the island its historical fame.
