Zanzibar

The Zanzibar Archipelago is comprised of several islands in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Tanzania, East Africa, a breathtaking spot to escape from the world and a perfect place to relax after a hectic safari.

Zanzibar is known as the “Spice Island” due to the many spices grown on the island’s plantations. It is an island steeped in culture and history. Stone Town is a historic trade center with Swahili and Islamic influences, full of breathtaking mosques, beautifully carved wooden doors, bustling markets and a maze of winding alleys.
