WHITE SANDY BEACHES OF ZANZIBAR

Day 1 Zanzibar

The exotic spice island of Zanzibar is a land of sun-kissed beaches, Arabian dhows and swaying palms, where the rich smell of spice in Stone Town’s old quarter mingles with colonial and Arabic architecture to create a perfect getaway island. Zanzibar’s glorious scenery, fascinating culture and remarkable history makes any visit to the island a captivating experience, with beaches and reefs to explore, plantations to wander through and a rich history of conquests, slavery and pirates to investigate.

  • Unaccompanied flight to Zanzibar

Day 2 Stone Town, Zanzibar

A landscape of meandering labyrinthine alleys and whitewashed houses, where the pungent aroma of coffee and spices permeate the town and the backstreets are filled with a cacophony of noise and color. Much of the town was built on slavery and its trade, which saw some 60,000 unfortunate souls processed through these narrow streets, to be shipped off to the far lands of Arabia, India and Europe. The town still retains the feel of its Arab roots, many of the existing buildings dating back to the reign of Sultan Barghash in the 19th century. The end of the slave trade and a devastating cyclone saw the end of Zanzibar’s heyday. Stone Town’s inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage Listings saw a return to something of its previous glory.
