Zanzibar
There are so many reasons to travel to Zanzibar. The sultry beaches are unrivalled, it is visually
stunning, and there are unique forest reserves and plantations with fruit, vegetables and spices.
You arrive in quirky StoneTown with its boutiques and restaurants. This is an extraordinary place to explore; the ancient maze of narrow streets is a romantic hotchpotch of historic old stone buildings built close for cool respite from the tropical island sun, and shaded by elegantly carved balconies, loggias and verandahs.
Stay in StoneTown and explore, or choose one of the resort hotels that stretch around the coast.
The best beaches on ZanzibarIsland are to the North and East, where the sun shines on brilliantly
clear waters in a range of striking turquoise blues, and the sand is clean, bright and fine. Many enjoy a spice tour and pick, smell and savour exotic fruits and spices, or explore JozaniForest in search of the rare red colobus monkeys.
This is a perfect idyll for rest and relaxation.
