The archipelago of Zanzibar looks like detached from the decor of "One Thousand and One Nights". With its turquoise waters, coral reefs and idyllic beaches, bordered by giant palm trees blowing in the wind, Zanzibar is one of the most popular beach destinations in East Africa. It can be, at the same time, the relaxing end of a Tanzanian safari, but also a destination of its own. Zanzibar is, without a doubt, a destination that will delight both those eager to relax and those who are passionate about culture or eager to explore the marine landscapes.

Escape in Zanzibar
A stay in Zanzibar can be the ideal choice if you want a getaway to exotic destinations, with shiny sand, palm trees and coral reefs. The name Zanzibar (Black Coast) comes from the merging of the word "Zanj" (a term used by the Arab peoples of the Middle Ages to designate the coast of East Africa, inhabited by black, non-Muslim tribes) with "Bar".
Full of history, this ancient gateway from Arabia to Africa has always been an island of adventurers, sailors and traders. Here you will find both the charm of Africa (in the fishing villages on the Indian Ocean coast), as well as the vestiges of the British Colonial Empire and the Arabian aromas of spices and colors, all framed by silver sand beaches, worthy of postcards. Despite the centuries that have passed since the cinnamon, nutmeg and clove trade was flourishing in these lands, Zanzibar is still called the "Island of Spices" and their fragrance still accompanies the traditional dhows floating on the horizon.
Among the experiences you can live here are cultural tours, centered around Swahili culture and the history of the island, as an important supplier of slaves, visiting the island's capital, Stone Town, also known for being Freddy Mercury's birthplace, an introduction to the secrets and flavors of exotic spices, traded for centuries, as well as numerous activities in the middle of nature - snorkeling, deep sea fishing, swimming with dolphins, they are all part of this travel destination, which is the spectacular Zanzibar.
