Exotic Zanzibar, or Unguja, is a tropical paradise of powder-white beaches, turquoise waters and vibrant coral reefs, perfect for unwinding after safari. Explore UNESCO-listed Stone Town, where winding alleys, ornate wooden doors and bustling markets reveal centuries of Swahili, Arab, Persian and European influences. Beyond the capital, sail by traditional dhow between sandbanks and islands, snorkel colourful reefs and discover hidden coves. Inland, spice farms showcase the cloves, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg that earned Zanzibar its ‘Spice Island’ nickname. Blending rich heritage, spectacular scenery and laid-back island life, Zanzibar offers an unforgettable escape that feels both timeless and wonderfully restorative.
