Good to know

Zanzibar is known for its stunning beaches, historic Stone Town, and vibrant Swahili culture.

Zanzibar, renowned for its breathtaking beaches, historic Stone Town, and rich Swahili culture, lies about 25 to 50 kilometers (15 to 30 miles) off Tanzania’s coast. Unguja, the largest island, serves as the primary hub for tourists, while Pemba Island to the north remains more untouched and less developed, offering a serene escape. The archipelago also boasts numerous smaller islands and islets, each adding to its natural charm.
