Zanzibar is an archipelago off the Tanzanian coast. It’s famous for its white beaches, sparkling tropical waters and delicious range of local spices. It’s a place full of mystery, history, and beauty. Two of its biggest islands – Pemba to the north and Unguja to the south – each boast their own array of attractions. For example, there’s the enchanting capital called Stone Town. It features night markets, narrow winding streets and unique Arabian and Indian architecture. Naturally, it’s a must-see for historians. As are the harrowing cells of Africa’s last slave market. Plus, you can visit The Sultan’s Palace and The House of Wonders. And walk around an old Omani fortress! Last, but by no means least, however, are the beautiful coral reefs which surround the islands. The turquoise waters are literally teeming with all kinds of aquatic life. Even better, you’ll have your pick of gorgeous white sandy beaches to choose from. From there, you can sun-bathe in paradise and wade into the waters to explore.
