Zanzibar Beach Holidays

Few places evoke such romance as fabled exotic spice islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia. Places of greater wealth and power in the turbulent history of East Africa, they are today sleepy islands with the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean washing up on the shores of virgin white sandy beaches.

Lush tropical vegetation, redolent of the cloves, cinnamon and other spices flourish everywhere. The Arabic town of Zanzibar possesses interesting relics, the former Sultans Palace set in gardens on the front near Arab Fort and Beit el Ajaib, the Sultan's House of wonders, the Marahubi Palace, the Kiddichi Baths, a gift from an early Sultan to his Persian wife, the houses where Livingston and Burton lived....
Renowned over the centuries as «the spice island» (the spice being the cloves which grow in the proliferation on the island), Zanzibar has a fascinating history of ancient civilizations and trade. As a focal point on the ancient trading routes, Zanzibar has been subject to conquest and invasion but is now an integral part of the Republic of Tanzania and welcomes visitors to its shores.
