Zanzibar

The Zanzibar archipelago is the meeting point between Africa, Arabia and India. This semi-autonomous region is a popular post-safari destination, providing a tropical beach paradise to close out your East African safari. Zanzibar has been a unique cultural crossroads, blending African, Indian, Arabian, and European cultures. This is most apparent in the Old Stone Town, one of the few remaining ancient towns in Africa. Stone Town is a labyrinth of chaotic alle yways, interposed between towering limestone houses each with ornately carved hardwood doors with brass finishings and terracotta roofs. Alongside the architecture, Zanzibar is unique in its cuisine, religion, politics, and way of life. It’s very different to mainland Tanzania and makes for a perfect start or end to an East African safari.
