White sands, turquoise seas, Swahili heritage, historic architecture and tropical island life.

THE ZANZIBAR EXPERIENCE
Zanzibar is where Tanzania meets the sea. Along its shores, white-sand beaches disappear into warm turquoise water, traditional dhows cross the horizon and palm trees lean towards the Indian Ocean.
Yet the island’s story reaches far beyond its beaches. Stone Town’s winding lanes reveal centuries of African, Arab, Indian and European influence, while spice farms, local villages, forests and coral reefs reveal another side of Zanzibar at every turn. UNESCO describes Stone Town as an exceptional Swahili trading town shaped by this cultural fusion.
