Zanzibar Beach Holiday
10
Days Tanzania Safari
Safari Overview
A tropical island rich with history, mystery and exotic beauty. Exploring ‘The Spice Island’ is like pealing off the layers of time and relaxing on one its remote tropical beaches, is the ultimate escape. Welcome to paradise! Just the sound of it immediately invokes thoughts of a far off exotic destination, unchanged by time, rich with history and blessed with tropical beauty. A trip to Zanzibar, The Spice Island, was on our ‘to do’ list for quite some time. We spent 10 magnificent days in Zanzibar during November with a mix of sightseeing, diving and a whole lot of relaxing. A semi-autonomous part of Tanzania, Zanzibar is located just off the coast of Africa and holds a population of 1.3 million inhabitants. Its capital, Stone Town, is its center and your usual point of entry. Most visitors travel to Zanzibar to relax after an African safari in Tanzania and will rarely see more than a beach resort. Probably just about any couple’s dream honeymoon destination and what every family needs for a dose of Vitamin Sea! Zanzibar has a pleasing weather all year round due to its position near the equator. Cozy bars and rectos line up this haven with ambient settings to achieve that dream holiday vacation. Whether you’re capping off a safari vacation, preparing to head to one, or simply want to relax in this paradise, Zanzibar will not fail you. There are several water sports activities to choose from and cozy nooks for those who just want to snuggle with a book and mock-tail. You can also go for sight-seeing and you’d be amazed to see its huge Arab influence, the population being predominately Muslim. The oldest traces of Islam can be found in a Mosque at the Southern-most end of Unguja Island at Kizimkazi. Kizimkazi Mosque is one of the oldest Islamic buildings on the East African coast.
