Description

Zanzibar’s very name conjures up images of exotic bazaars, idyllic palm-tree fringed sandy beaches, ancient Arabic-influenced culture and huge spice plantations. You’ll experience all this on this five-day trip to this remarkable island off the Tanzanian coast. Spend two nights in UNESCO-protected Stone Town, the island capital. Its winding alleyways, historic mosques and grand old residences date from the days when Zanzibar was an important regional trading post. These days the streets still buzz with life and commerce. You’ll also have the opportunity to take a guided tour of a plantation to see spices like cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg produced at source. Next you’ll head to Kendwa to stay by the beach, relaxing on the white sands or maybe trying a spot of diving or snorkelling. See traditional wooden sailing dhows being constructed in time-honoured fashion and soak up island culture.
