Overview
Venturing off the mainland, the Zanzibar archipelago offers a captivating blend of pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and a rich cultural tapestry. The main island of Unguja is dotted with idyllic stretches of white sand, from the lively shores of Nungwi and Kendwa in the north to the tranquil beaches of Matemwe in the northeast and the kitesurfing havens of Paje and Jambiani along the eastern coast. The heart of Zanzibar’s cultural heritage lies in Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Its labyrinthine alleyways reveal ancient buildings adorned with intricate architecture, reflecting a history shaped by African, Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influences. Beyond its beaches and history, Zanzibar offers aromatic spice farms, vibrant marine life perfect for snorkeling and diving, and opportunities for cultural immersion in local villages.
