The Spice Island

Nature’s spectacle

Zanzibar — The Spice Island

Lying off the Tanzanian coast in the warm Indian Ocean, Zanzibar is the perfect close to any safari. Powder-white beaches and coral reefs meet the layered history of Stone Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Swahili, Arab and European influences mingle in winding lanes scented with cloves and cardamom. Sail a traditional dhow at sunset, dive the reefs, or simply rest.
