The beautiful globally renowned island, Zanzibar, is bursting with culture and history. Seemingly at odds with its idyllic geography of white-sand beaches with palms swaying lazily in the sea breeze. Together this makes Zanzibar a fabulous place to explore as well as a dream destination to relax and unwind. Whether you are visiting the island for a spot of post-safari relaxation or as a stand-alone destination, Zanzibar is the perfect blend of an island getaway and historical charm. Zanzibar Island is a semi-autonomous state of Tanzania and part of the wider Zanzibar Archipelago, made up of over 50 islands ranging from tiny outcrops in the middle of the Indian Ocean to the larger, more populated islands of Pemba and Ungujua, the official name for Zanzibar. The island itself is just six degrees south of the equator and 35km off the coast of mainland Tanzania. Embark on rich cultural historic tours, spice tours, trekking through the Jozani monkey forest, visiting giant tortoises at prison island, exploring caves, snorkelling, diving, parasailing, skydiving, and so much more.
