Zanzibar - Brief Overview

Prepare to get amazed

Ever been to a mysterious island that has enticed travellers and traders for many centuries? Say hello to Zanzibar.

It is an archipelago made up of Zanzibar and Pemba Islands, and several islets. It is located in the Indian Ocean, about 25 miles from the Tanzanian coast, and 6° south of the equator. Zanzibar Island is characterised by beautiful sandy beaches with fringing coral reefs and the magic of historic Stone Town - said to be the only functioning ancient town in East Africa.

So much, in such a small land mass

The Spice Island of Zanzibar is blessed with glorious beaches, coral reefs and fragrant clove plantations and steeped in reminders of a former wealth and splendour. Here you can stroll through the winding streets of the capital, Stone Town, where Arabic buildings are graced with intricately carved doors and admire the ruins of the Sultan's Palace built with the riches of the spice, ivory and slave trades.

The coast is mostly white sand fringed by a coral reef, with rocky stretches here and there. Mangrove swamps line the water's edge, while casuarina trees grow just inland.

This is Your Perfect Get-away

Escape the paces of the modern world on the smaller private islands situated within close proximity to the mainland. One of these beautiful islands is Mnemba Island.

The turquoise seas provide the ultimate place to reflect and unwind. An idyllic destination for those in pursuit of romance, adventure or simple relaxation.
