ZANZIBAR

Zanzibar, also commonly referred to as the Spice Island, is a quick 45-minute flight from Dar es Salaam. The heavenly white sandy beaches, fringed with palm trees and lapped by turquoise waters, make this setting simply idyllic.

The list of possible activities is impressive – from deep-sea fishing to sailing and dolphin safaris, diving and kite-surfing, historical ruins and touring spice plantations. Explore the labyrinthine streets of Stone Town with its intricately-carved doors and discover its rich culture.

Watch the dhows dot the horizon as the sun sets after yet another magical day.
