 Zanzibar Island, lying 36km off the Tanzania coast in the Indian Ocean about 72km north of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), has some of the best beaches in the world.
Zanzibar (meaning Land of the Blacks in Arabic) is famed for its alluring white beaches majority of which are placed along the east coast, near the northern tip of the island, where fishing villages dot the landscape.
There are more than 30 pristine beaches in Zanzibar. Most of Zanzibar beaches are quiet and unspoilt that the only noise breaking the silence is likely to be the ocean.

 Although Zanzibar is recognized internationally as a land of romance, the archipelago is also a premier cultural safari destination in East Africa.
Cultural safaris to Zanzibar cover important areas including the Old Stone town, the House of Wonders, People’s Palace and Dr Livingstone’s House among others.
The archipelago and its people have their own unique history and culture, influenced by the traders and invaders over the centuries; from the Portuguese, Omani Arabs to English. The result of this fusion of different ethnic groups has resulted in interesting cultural events such as Sauti za Busara, Zanzibar International Film Festival and Mwaka Kogwa – the celebration of the Persian New Year.
