Zanzibar is where the monsoon trade routes of the Indian Ocean left their deepest mark. Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site — a maze of coral-rag alleys, Omani doors, and a food market that comes alive at dusk in Forodhani Gardens.
The island's east coast has the whitest sand and the biggest tides; the north around Nungwi swims well at any hour. Between them lie spice farms, the Jozani forest and its endemic red colobus, and Mnemba atoll's reef.
Zanzibar pairs naturally with a mainland safari — a week of dust and game drives, then a week of doing nothing at all.
UNESCO-listed Swahili architecture and carved doors.
The island's best diving and snorkelling.
Clove, nutmeg and cinnamon farms inland.
The endemic Zanzibar red colobus.
Every one includes transport, park fees and a guide. Private dates available for all of them.
