Just off the eastern shore of Africa lie the islands of Zanzibar. Sometimes referred to as the Spice Islands, the archipelago offers both exciting history and lazy beaches. This Indian ocean escape offers something for everyone.
Stone Town, the historic center of Zanzibar City, is a maze of stone buildings and artfully carved wooden doors. The Old Fort and the Livingstone house offer a peak into the history of the islands. Outside the city are many beach-side towns with small waterfront hotels and guest houses for a relaxing beach holiday. The less populated island of Pemba, north of Zanzibar, offers both spectacular SCUBA diving and a chance to see the spice plantations that gave the islands their name.
From the capitol of Zanzibar City to sleepy fishing villages, Zanzibar, Tanzania offers a range of relaxation and adventure to suit any traveler.
