Zanzibar
Zanzibar Island, commonly known as Unguja, is by far the largest and most renowned of the Zanzibar Archipelago's islands. Zanzibar's shoreline is so diversified that there are many various experiences to be had across the main island, from bustling culture in the south to tranquil barefoot luxury in the north. Beyond tall palm trees, beautiful beaches, and water the color of malachite, there are lots to see.
Some considerably smaller islands off the main island offer a more intimate, away-from-the-crowds experience and are ideal for honeymooners and romantics.
No trip to Zanzibar would be complete without seeing the tiny, cobblestone alleyways of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the historic capital of the main island. There are various points of interest in the town, including the old sultan's residence Beit el-Ajaib (House of Wonders). On guided tours, learn about the history, culture, and gastronomy of this old slave and ivory port, or simply meander about on your own.
Some of the top sites to visit in Zanzibar immerse you in the African island experience. The Zanzibar Archipelago is littered with hidden gems that have yet to make their way onto the global map; we love sharing these hidden gems with guests looking for a genuine and laid-back beach holiday.
