Day 1: Stone Town

Jambo! Welcome to Zanzibar, Tanzania – an archipelagic gem filled with beaches, markets and varied history. This is a place rooted in slavery, where Arabian sultans once lived and Swahili and Islamic influences blend together to create an island paradise steeped in fascinating, and sometimes dark, history. With no planned activities today, why not throw yourself into Stone Town’s maze of narrow streets and explore the bazaars, mosques and ruins. Perhaps head to one of the bars on the seafront and soak up the salty ocean air with a cocktail.

The Zanzibar beach break was wonderful. If I had known how fabulous it is, I would have gone for longer! I loved the spice tour and the beaches at Nungwi were paradise. I plan to go again and spend longer.

Visit Zanzibar! The people are kind and friendly, and the landscape is truly a tropical paradise. Both our city guides and spice farm guides were excellent, and our family was moved by the beautiful meal prepared for us by a local cooperative family. We all learned some Kiswahili and about Stone Town's meaningful and fascinating history. We even caught a modern taarab concert during an Eid celebration. Unforgettable family trip!
