01 Overview

Zanzibar is the perfect ending to any East African adventure — a UNESCO-listed Stone Town of carved wooden doors and call-to-prayer echoes, surrounded by some of the Indian Ocean's most brilliant beaches. The northern coast at Nungwi and the eastern shores at Paje offer different personalities. The island's spice heritage, Swahili cuisine, and dhow sailing culture make it a full cultural experience, not just a beach stop.

Highlights

  • Stone Town UNESCO Heritage walking tour — carved doors, Arab fort, Freddie Mercury birthplace
  • Prison Island — giant Aldabra tortoises (over 100 years old) and snorkelling reef • Nungwi Beach — year-round calm waters, sunset dhow cruises
  • Nungwi Beach — year-round calm waters, sunset dhow cruises
  • Zanzibar night food market (Forodhani Gardens) — local seafood and Swahili street food
