Zanzibar –the “Spice Island”
famous for its spices such as cloves, cinnamon,
vanilla, pepper and more, is located in the Indian
ocean about 40km east of Tanzania and is part of an
archipelago made up of Zanzibar (also known as
Unguja, but more widely known as Zanzibar), Pemba
Island (situated North-East from Zanzibar) and
smaller islets surrounding Zanzibar. Zanzibar is
known for its beautiful white sand beaches and
surrounding coral reefs, clear ocean water and rich
history. The east coast hosts the most popular
resorts and hotels and great accommodation can also
be found in the North in Nungwi. Zanzibar is a
great destination for relaxing, diving, snorkeling,
deep sea fishing and swimming with the dolphins. A
visit to the historic Stone Town with its narrow
pathways and lively markets is an interesting
cultural experience. Zanzibar is also home to the
rare Red Colobus Monkey, which is recognized as a
distinct species. |
