Zanzibar: The Spice Island of Tanzania

Known as the Spice Island, Zanzibar is a paradise of culture, history, and natural beauty. Its pristine white-sand beaches, lined with gently swaying palm trees, create the perfect setting for both exploration and relaxation.

Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania, located in East Africa. The Zanzibar Archipelago lies 25–50 kilometres (16–31 miles) off the mainland coast in the Indian Ocean and includes several small islands, with two main ones: Unguja (commonly called Zanzibar) and Pemba. The capital, Zanzibar City, is on Unguja, with its historic centre, Stone Town, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The island is a haven for water sports enthusiasts. Swimming, snorkeling, and diving offer encounters with vibrant marine life, while coral gardens and playful dolphins provide unforgettable experiences. Its smooth beaches make every sunny day a true delight.

Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar City, transports visitors back in time. The Spice Tour allows you to explore live plantations, where you can see, touch, and taste the island’s famous spices in their natural environment. From cloves and cinnamon to vanilla and nutmeg, Zanzibar’s exotic flavors have enchanted visitors for centuries.
