A closer look
Get to know Zanzibar.
Swahili soul and an ocean without hurry.
Zanzibar is an archipelago off Tanzania’s coast, with Unguja and Pemba its two main islands. History, spice-growing traditions, village life and marine landscapes give the islands a character that goes well beyond a beach stay. Choose the island and coast to suit the pace you want. Unguja offers Stone Town and a wide choice of beach settings; Pemba brings a greener, quieter island perspective. Combine Zanzibar with a mainland safari or make the islands the focus.
