Zanzibar, the island of a thousand and one wonders
It's no wonder then that Stone Town (or Zanzibar Town), the capital of the archipelago, was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. The city invites travelers with its maze of streets and splendid carved doors that reflect the wealth of Arab and Indian traders in the 19th century. The Spice Island experienced its golden age thanks to trade when dhows returned daily to unload their cargoes of cloves, ivory, precious essences, gold, and... slaves.
If you are looking for a trip to Africa that offers a multitude of horizons, a clever mix of culture, history, flora and fauna, then this destination is for you. Embark on a tailor-made journey to Zanzibar and perhaps take the opportunity to enjoy a safari in Tanzania.
A trip to Zanzibar can be arranged as part of a honeymoon to relax in this seaside destination with crystal-clear waters. It can also perfectly suit a family vacation combining the relaxation of paradisiacal beaches with exploring the city. But it is also an opportunity for a journey into the heart of flora and fauna if you visit Tanzania on the African continent.
A Paradise of Beaches and Exotic Culture
Organizing a tailor-made trip to Zanzibar is like heading for paradise on Earth. Endless and heavenly white sand beaches, lined with coconut trees, a turquoise lagoon protected from the open sea by a spectacular coral reef where thousands of tropical fish swim... The paradisiacal islands of Zanzibar are an ode to relaxation and a paradise at the crossroads of the Indian Ocean's trade routes that have blended multiple African, Arab, and Indian influences on the island.
The Must-See Places on the Island
Stroll through the heart of Stone Town, the stone city, for a walk through time and history in an incredible urban labyrinth. At every street corner, you will encounter coral stone facades and carved wooden doors. It is a true open-air museum where cars have no access, thanks to the narrowness of the place.
Meet the red colobus monkeys at Jozani National Park. The archipelago only has one national park, but what a park it is! It spans 5,000 hectares between the Jozani forest and the Chwaka Bay mangrove. The star of these beautifully preserved places is the red colobus monkey, an amazing primate that you can easily observe because it is accustomed to human presence.
For scuba diving or snorkeling enthusiasts, the coral reefs of Pemba are a must-see. You will be amazed by the richness of the wildlife that inhabits these enchanting spaces: colorful fish, whale sharks, sea turtles, manta rays...
The colorful Darajani market is an authentic slice of daily life in Stone Town. It's a festival of colors and scents that you won't soon forget. The section dedicated to spices, fruits, and vegetables alone would be worth the trip to Zanzibar.
Uzi is one of the many small satellite islands that make up the archipelago, accessible by road only at low tide. It's a guarantee that you'll encounter few or no tourists amidst the seaweed farms.
The village of Muyuni, located in the southeast of the main island of Unguja, in Menai Bay, is a fishing village like no other with its magical caves where shamans practice spiritual healing.
