Zanzibar Island
Welcome to Zanzibar
Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous archipelago off the coast of Tanzania consisting of Zanzibar Island (locally known as Unguja), Pemba Island, and several smaller islets. Famous for its powdery white-sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and rich historical heritage, Zanzibar is the ultimate tropical escape and a popular extension to a Tanzanian safari. From the winding cobblestone alleys of Stone Town—a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in Swahili-Arab history—to the spice farms producing cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon, Zanzibar is a multi-sensory experience where culture and relaxation meet.
