Zanzibar and Stone Town: Beaches, History and Combining With a Safari
A spice island with white beaches, perfect after a safari.
Zanzibar is an island off Tanzania's coast with a long Swahili and Arab trading history. Stone Town, its old quarter, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with narrow lanes and carved doors. Beaches such as Nungwi, Kendwa and Paje are popular for relaxing after a safari.
Spice tours, snorkelling and dhow cruises are common activities. See Uganda safari and Zanzibar beach holiday and Diani Beach for a Kenyan alternative.
