Zanzibar Island

Zanzibar is one of the world‘s most beautiful islands. Its name evokes  a romantic past. To the shores of these islands came Summerians, Assyrians,  Hindus, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Arabians, Chinese, Malaysians, and the  Portuguese, all sailing in on Monsoon winds. From these shores the great  European explorers Burton, Speke, Livingstone, Krapf, Rebman, and Grant set  out on their voyages of discovery into the East and Central African hinterland.

The different races that have settled in Zanzibar over the centuries have left  an imprint on the people and the architecture. The “House of Wonders” and  the narrow streets of the Old Stone Town are just some of the vivid reminders  of the islands long and coloured history. Zanzibar is also the birthplace of  the fascinating Swahili culture with its elegant architecture, full of balconies,  courtyards, hand-carved doors and mosques. For centuries the historic spice  Islands of Zanzibar has evoked a mystical and magical dream. Fascinating  history, exotic spices, sandy beaches and hospitable people… this is the  enchantment of Zanzibar. Different excursions are arranged while in Zanzibar.  These include taking visitors to spices plantations in the countryside where  a variety of seasonal spices, tropical fruits and medicinal herbs are grown.
