Zanzibar

Zanzibar is an evocation of the exotic, an archipelago nestled in the Indian Ocean and a destination both legendary and mysterious.

From this remote outpost, at the hub of the Monsoon trading routes, history was enacted, journeys of discovery were planned, Sultanate empires were established and the first mediaeval global village was founded.Zanzibar retains the imprint of its historic legacy in the tumbling streets of Stone Town, in the Oriental-inflected Swahili language and the rare antiques of the bazaars and markets.

The haloes of idyllic beaches that adorn the island's coast, and the fragrant spice plantations that blossom in the interior make Zanzibar perhaps the ultimate Indian Ocean destination, the jewel in East Africa's crown.
