Lying just off the coast of mainland Tanzania, Zanzibar is a fascinating island with a rich history and stunning beaches – a combination that has captured the imagination of visitors for decades. Zanzibar and its sister island Pemba are widely regarded as two of the most glorious islands in the whole of the Indian Ocean.

Zanzibar is an experience all of its own. At it’s heart is the World Heritage Stone Town – a labyrinth of winding alleyways, a bustling marketplace heady with the aroma of spices and displaying skilfully crafted artefacts, beautifully preserved buildings with picturesque carved and studded doors, cathedrals and mosques, and a fascinating array sights that simply have to be seen and photographed.
