ZANZIBAR - THE SPICE ISLAND & PEMBA.

Zanzibar is best known as the 'spice island' and was the centre for the slave trade in East Africa.
It is popular for its enormous rewarding East Coast beaches and the old Stone town Arab buildings with narrow streets,
which are unique in all of Tanzania. The cluster of winding streets lined with white-washed coral houses, bazaars, mosques,
fortresses, two former sultan's palaces, two huge cathedrals and faded colonial mansions all vividly still evoke the
islands' long history. This island on Tanzania's North coast has lured travelers for centuries, and it was the influence
of the Shirazi Persians and the Omani Arabs that haslingered mostly on the island.
Zanzibar is also known as the spice island and the largest producer of cloves where you will see varieties of spices
and fruit plantations.
The old slave market and ruins are also attractive to many tourists.

We do organise Spice Tours, Jozani Forest Reserve Tours(centrally located on the island, well-forested, nice for a walk,
