Spice Up Your Life

Zanzibar's known as the Spice Island for good reason. Take a tour of a spice farm to see cinnamon, vanilla, black pepper and more. Sample aromatic teas and spices and learn the medicinal properties of the different plants!

The Beaches are Purrfect

With pristine, white sand beaches and clear waters, you can't miss out on some ocean time. Nungwi Beach is popular for its coral reef and sunset dhow cruises. For something quieter, check out Matemwe Beach or Kendwa Beach.
