Island of romance and history the very name conjures up images of Ali Baba and other fairy tale characters. Also known as the 'Spice Island', Zanzibar has a history of plunder, looting and years of idyllic peace. The Assyrians, Egyptians, and Persians are among many who visited, with some staying and ruling the Island. In 1818 clove trees were introduced and formed the main trade for the island, becoming known as the 'gold, of Zanzibar. Nowadays travellers arriving at the airport can 'feel' the pungent scent of cloves, cardamon, cinnamon and the many other spices in the air.

Stone Town
A fascinating historic town with narrow streets, superb carved Arab doors and very few cars! Here you can explore the winding paths, looking for antiques, stop off for a cold drink in a modern bar and visit the beautifully restored Dispensary of the Old Fort. A guided walking tour is highly recommended.

The Spice Tour
Drive into the hinterland and take a guided tour of one of the spice plantations. You will see the spice bushes and learn about harvesting and the uses for the spices. Spice baskets, containing freshly picked spices, are available for sale. on your drive you may come across a Persian bath, right in the country, brought by a ruler whose wife could not leave her bath at home!

The Eastern Beaches
Beautiful golden beaches, modern hotels, and friendly, welcoming people make the east coast a perfect quiet getaway. Try deep sea fishing, scuba diving, sailing, or just relax and enjoy the peaceful ambience.
