Zanzibar Island |
|
Zanzibar is an exotic land. This 'spice island' is a tropical idyll true to its reputation. Zanzibar town is filled with old historic buildings, and to prove it there is a story behind each one.
At the heart of Zanzibar is the fascinating Stone Town where time has seemingly stood till. The island is dotted with several ruins from the turbulent times past.
During harvest season between, July and December, the air hangs thick with the scent of clove. Along the east coast there are endless beautiful beaches and inviting aquamarine water |

Major tour destinations in Zanzibar

Spice Island
 In the western arm of the Great East African Rift Valley, is centred around Lake Edward and Lake George. The launch trip along theKazinga Channel is especially good for viewing hippo, buffalo, elephant and a vast array of birds. Around Ishasha go on the hunt for the famous tree-climbing lions which lounge nonchalantly on old fig trees. The beautiful steeply forested Kyambura Gorge nearby, is home not only to chimpanzees but also the red-tailed monkey, black and white Columbus and many bird species.

Mafia Island
Mafia  Island lies South of the main island close to the Rufiji Delta, just a short aircraft flight from Dar es Salaam, the Selous Game Reserve or Zanzibar. Less scenically interesting than Pemba and without the historic status of the main island Mafia has escaped the attention of tourism.
At the Southern end of the island is Chole bay, a protected deep-water anchorage studded with islands, sandbanks and beaches.

Pemba Island
The northernmost  Island of the archipelago. Pemba Island is still the world's major clove producer, but has now slipped into its more traditional role of being an Island Paradise with small inter-island trade.
Chake wharf is now mainly used for swimming & fishing.
Pemba was seized by the Sultan of Muscat (now Oman) in the 17th century. Visit the region and itineraries »

Stone Town
Stone Town is the old city and cultural heart of Zanzibar, little changed in the last 200 years. It is a place of winding alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques and grand Arab houses whose original owners vied with each other over the extravagance of their dwellings. This one-upmanship is particularly reflected in the brass-studded, carved, wooden doors - there are more than 500 different examples of this handiwork.
