Your Destination

It's often hard to discern the horizon on Zanzibar: but not because of cloudy skies or shadowed landscapes,  because of the overwhelming, sweeping blue of sea and sky that seamlessly locks together into a singularly gorgeous, sun-swept shade. If it weren't for the stunning, radiant sun, you could get swallowed by the azure panorama entirely. Let yourself be blown away by Zanzibar: an island in the Indian Ocean brimming with white beaches dotted with palm trees, coral reefs, and tropical seascapes. Dolphins and sea-turtles inhabit the waters, close enough to shore to spot while snorkelling or even scuba diving. 

Zanzibar isn't only an ocean-side paradise: the island's rich history and culture will be a thrill to any visitor. Visit the ancient Stone Town, and learn how Zanzibar acted as a crossroad for international trade between Eastern Africa, The Indian Ocean, China and Europe, resulting in a unique blend of cultures. Zanzibar was formally known as the Spice Island, and it's easy to see why to this day: clove, pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon waft through the air and are still incorporated into traditional meals.
