The very name, 'Zanzibar', conjures up evocative images of the exotic: spice trading and a dark history add to the aura of mystery. Its beautiful fringing beaches reach down to warm turquoise waters, perfect for a relaxing holiday...

Visitors can explore the heritage and history of the famous Stone Town, now designated a World Heritage Site. This includes visits to the city market, the old Anglican Church located on the site of the old Slave Market and the National Museum of Zanzibar. Leisurely walks through the winding alleys and narrow streets will take you to the small exotic bazaars and local curio shops. Visits to the spice plantations will dazzle your senses with fresh spices. Another popular attraction is the old Sultan Rest House, the Persian Baths built in 1850 by Seyyid Said bin Sultan (first Sultan of Zanzibar) for his wife Princess Shehzard.

Dolphins are regularly encountered off-shore and special dolphin-watching tours give visitors a unique opportunity to see them. It is important to remember that these beautiful marine creatures are not tame in spite of how close they come to the boats. Snorkeling at is also possible.
