Historic and Happening Island

"The finest place I have known in all of Africa...an illusive place where nothing is as it seems. I am mesmerised." (David Livingstone, 1866)

Zanzibar Island - Unguja to the locals - is a dream destination. With a troubled history, it is a fascinating part of the world which now enjoys peace and relative prosperity. And it offers an excellent insight into Arab and African relations over the years with the infamous slave trade on this 'Spice Island'. Thankfully those days are over and Zanzibar is now renowned for its beauty and beaches.

NB: You can visit Zanzibar on its own or combine it with any other destination in Tanzania or even Kenya. We are experts at planning Zanzibar Itineraries so contact us to tailormake your holiday!
