Zanzibar

- Information -

Zanzibar is a group of small islands in the turquoise waters of the Indian ocean, around 40km off the coast of Tanzania. It consists of two main islands - Unguja and Pemba and a number of smaller islets and atolls. Zanzibar holds the status of a island paradise being blessed with palm fringed shores, classical fishing villages, and lush spice plantations.

Although a stones throw from the mainland, Zanzibar has its own identity. Shaped by a rich history from slave traders and sultans to pirates and princesses.

A perfect way to spoil yourself after a strenuous climb up Kilimanjaro.
