Island Paradise
A World Apart from the Mainland
“Kisiwa cha Unguja” — the Island of Unguja — has seduced travellers, traders, and sultans for over a thousand years.
Zanzibar is Tanzania's jewel in the Indian Ocean — a semi-autonomous archipelago of islands where the pace of life slows to the rhythm of dhow sails and spice markets. The main island, Unguja, combines an extraordinary natural environment with a rich cultural heritage that no other destination in East Africa can match.
Beyond the blinding white beaches and crystal-clear waters lie ancient coral reefs, forests of giant tortoises, historic Stone Town's labyrinthine alleys, and spice plantations that once made this the most valuable piece of real estate in the entire Indian Ocean trade.
