Zanzibar
“ Zanzibar- still the best kept secret in the Indian Ocean with its fascinating historical Stone Town and magnificent beaches…”
Heritage and history are marks of the famous Stone Town, now designated a World Heritage Site just like Kenya's very own Lamu.
Sites include the city market, old Anglican Church located on the site of the old Slave Market and the National Museum of Zanzibar, the Old British Consulate, the Old Fort dating back since 1700, House of Wonders and Livingstone House.
It's safe to walk on your own through the winding alleys and narrow streets so you can explore the small exotic bazaars and local curio shops that will please any avid antiques-shopper.
The Spice Island
Zanzibar's fresh spices growing on large plantations are a must-visit. Soak in the heady aromas, talk to farmers who will show you the traditional spices and fruits of Zanzibar. End this experience with a delectable meal on the shore. Stop at the old Sultan Rest House to view the Persian Baths built in 1850 by Seyyid Said bin Sultan (first Sultan of Zanzibar) for his wife Princess Shehzard.
Jozani Forest
The only remaining natural forest on Unguja Island presents a rich variety of bird species, including the very rare Red Colobus Monkey, which is indigenous to the Island .
Accommodation
Experience the beach, or town, or a combination of both. High quality hotels offering a superior product are in plenty, some which have spas to die for.
