Zanzibar is a captivating archipelago in the Indian Ocean, just over 15 miles from Tanzania's coast. It's famous for its stunning beaches like Nungwi, Kendwa, and Paje, as well as its rich history and unique blend of African and Arab cultures. The historic Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its fascinating architecture and historical significance.
Adventure seekers can indulge in various water sports on the island's stunning beaches, while food enthusiasts can savour the tantalizing flavours of cloves, turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemongrass, and black pepper that Zanzibar is renowned for as the Spice Island.
