White beaches, turquoise water and the old Stone Town of the spice islands.
Zanzibar is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Tanzania, known for its white sand beaches, warm clear water and history as a centre of the spice trade. Its old quarter, Stone Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of narrow lanes, carved wooden doors and busy markets.
It is the perfect way to end a safari: a few days of swimming, snorkelling and diving, a sunset sail on a traditional dhow or kitesurfing on the east coast. Flights connect Zanzibar with Johannesburg, from where it pairs easily with a safari in Namibia or Botswana.
