Zanzibar Island Stay

4 days, 3 nights

+- Overview

Zanzibar, once the trading centre of the whole of East Africa, is a charming island in the Indian Ocean, 36 km off the coastline of mainland Tanzania.  It is also commonly referred to as the “Spice Island” made famous by early traders in spices such as cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cardamom, pepper and others. With an incredible mixture of ethnic backgrounds, Zanzibar offers a cultural and festive diversity.  Considered to be the birthplace of the Swahili (known locally as Kiswahili) many believe that the purest form of this language is spoken in Zanzibar.

Ideally, following a wildlife safari in the famous game parks of Kenya and Tanzania, visitors flock to Zanzibar for rest and relaxation.  Beautiful sandy beaches with fringing coral reefs and warm clear blue waters, offer excellent snorkeling and diving, fantastic deep sea fishing and water sports activities. The historic Stone Town, now a UNESCO world-heritage site, with its narrow winding streets, vivid markets and colourful bazaars makes for an interesting cultural visit.
