Information about the area

Zanzibar Archipelago, Tanzania

Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous archipelago off the coast of Tanzania consisting of Zanzibar Island or Unguja, Pemba Island and many smaller islands. Zanzibar is a fusion of Arabic, Indian and African cultures. There's a heap to see and do on Zanzibar Island. First and foremost, do enjoy the stunning white sand beaches especially at the north, east and south coast. The sand is as fine as castor sugar. Zanzibar also has a fair few caves, like Tazani near Nungwi. Also, do a village tour that are offered all over the island. The market in Stone Town, the captivating capital, is one of the largest, most lively open-air markets anywhere. It doesn’t get any better than Zanzibar. Gorgeous beaches, historical architecture, friendly folk and affordable services. Adventures and relaxation are waiting for you.
