Zanzibar, sometimes referred to as the ‘Spice Island’ was historically a stopping off point and base for traders and voyagers from the Middle East and Africa. We have this to thank for the diverse culture found across the island. In the last 30 years, Zanzibar has rightfully grown into a desirable destination. A trip to Zanzibar can easily be combined for those who aspire to summit the mighty Kilimanjaro in adjacent Tanzania or view the beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater. That is not to say that you cannot combine all three into one unique holiday experience
With friendly locals and a more than agreeable climate, it isn’t hard to see the appeal of a trip Zanzibar. The capital Stone Town offers an immersion into local life, try visiting the Darjani Bazaar seen as the authentic heart and soul of the capital. It’s maze-like narrow passageways are filled with exotic smells and market stalls to stimulate your senses. The Old Town in Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a title very well deserved.
