Zanzibar
A Spiritual Paradise for the Senses
Just a stone’s throw across the Indian Ocean off the coast of Tanzania lies an idyllic archipelago known as Zanzibar. Noted for its spice trade and breathtaking beaches, Zanzibar is synonymous with adventure, culture, and cuisine.
Zanzibar is the perfect place to unwind after the excitement of a bush holiday and is an easy jaunt from Dar Es Salaam. The ideal way to reconnect and awaken your soul and spirit.
"So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, dream, discover."
Mark Twain
The colorful historical Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is steeped in history and culture and is an exciting place to explore. Cobbled streets and winding alleyways create an atmosphere filled with nostalgia of a bygone era. Arabian architecture and the bustling markets fill your senses as you delve into the beauty and culture of this remarkable city.
A short boat ride from the main island is Changuu Island, also known as Prison Island. This island used to house unruly slaves before they were sold at slave markets, but now it is a reserve where giant tortoises abide. Some are over 100 years old and were part of a gift from the British Governor to Seychelles. Spend time relaxing, swimming and soaking up the sun and sand.
