Tanzania's spice island, pairing historic Stone Town architecture with white-sand beaches and coral reefs.
Zanzibar rises from the Indian Ocean as Tanzania's spice island, where the labyrinthine coral-stone lanes of Stone Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — reveal centuries of Swahili, Arab, Persian, and European influence. Beyond the old town, the island unfolds into powder-white beaches and turquoise lagoons fringed by coral reefs, perfect for diving, snorkelling, and simply unwinding after days on safari. Spice farm tours, dhow sunset cruises, and fresh seafood on the beach round out an island experience that pairs effortlessly with Tanzania's northern safari circuit.
