“Step back to the days of the sultans…”

The much visited island of Unguja ( Zanzibar ) along with Pemba forms a semi autonomous state of Zanzibar. Situated 25km off the east African mainland accessible either by daily scheduled flights or ferry from Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar is a true tropical paradise. The even coastline, flat sandy beaches doted with coconut trees and Stone town the oldest part of Zanzibar clad in history, consisting of 2500 buildings all made of coral stone, lime and clay, hence the name. Inland, the island is garden of Eden offering the most exquisite tropical plant species and wildlife that can be only found on the island.

Zanzibar Archipelago

Made up of three main islands, Zanzibar is getting the most attention and tourism is well developed throughout the island, however it still has a relaxed pace and a mystical charm compared to the mainland. The beaches are pristine and water crystal clear. There are some locations in the far North and south tip that are a little out of the way, and these remain untouched by more developed areas where resorts stand side by side along well racked sand beaches.
