You may think that Zanzibar’s architecture is as intriguing as Dubrovnik’s.

But, you’ll find that Zanzibar is, in fact, like nowhere else on Earth.

 Once East Africa’s opulent, Arab trading capital, this stunningly beautiful island, fringed by glorious beaches, lapped by the warm Indian Ocean and scented by exotic oriental spices is simply unique.

You’ll buy AND wear a colourful Zanzibari Khanga, and laze in the shade of a palm tree on an enormous, empty, Zanzibari beach. You’ll be enticed into Stone Town’s maze of  alleyways dotted by Zanzibari palaces protected by brass-studded Zanzibari doors.

You’ll be amazed by the dignified Zanzibari kindness and courtesy that you’ll be confronted with everywhere.

A colourful fusion of races, traditions, cultures, cuisines, religions and customs. An exciting historical mix of mercantile trade, piracy, slaving, smuggling, power, riches and revolutions.
