Zanzibar Travel Guide - Tanzania paradise
Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous archipelago off the coast of Tanzania consisting of Zanzibar Island (locally, Unguja), Pemba Island and many smaller islands. Zanzibar Island is the main island in the Tanzanian archipelago of Zanzibar. Stone Town, part of Zanzibar City, is an old trade center, with mosques and winding lanes. The 1883 House of Wonders is a former sultan’s palace with a clock tower.
The Old Fort now houses a cultural center and a stone amphitheater. Underground aqueducts fed hot water to the late-19th-century Hamamni Persian Baths. Zanzibar island itself is approximately 90km long and 40km wide. In 1896, Zanzibar was the location of the world's shortest war, surrendering to Britain after 38 minutes of naval bombardment.
Cities of Zanzibar:
Stone Town – the vibrant and enchanting capital
Nungwi – at the northern tip of the island. Very popular with tourists since swimming in the ocean is possible even at low tide.
Kendwa – a few km south of Nungwi, also very popular with tourists.
Matemwe – a small traditional village in the North East.
Paje – the liveliest village on the South East coast known for excellent kiteboarding conditions
Jambiani – a small fishing village on the southeast coast
Michamvi – the remotest village on the South East coast known for great sunset beach and the coolest bar on Zanzibar, Kae Beach.
Makunduchi : at the south east tip of the island. 70 km from Stone Town.
Kizimkazi : small fishing village famous for the Dolphin tours.
There is a lot to see and to do on Zanzibar island. First and foremost, do enjoy the amazing white sand beaches especially at the north, east and south coast. The sand has the consistency of castor sugar! The best beaches are Nungwi/Kendwa, Matemwe/Kiwengwa and Paje/Jambiani, each offering different appeal.
The inner city of Stone town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, is a most unique city. Blending Moorish, Middle Eastern, Indian, and African traditions and architectures, it is possible to spend days winding through Stone Town's labyrinthine alleys.

Discover Zanzibar - Africa’s Secret Island of Mystery | 90+ Countries with 3 Kids
Join us for a breathtaking tour of the Island of Zanzibar. From Stone Town, we travel north to explore the Indian Ocean beaches of Kendwa and Nungwi and find a hidden gem in the coastal village of Kidoti.
We stayed at an eco friendly villa only 15 minutes away from the beaches. Surprisingly everything ran on solar power from lights and fans to kitchen appliances. The owners even prepared healthy meals right there on the spot with produce from their organic farm and fresh seafood from the ocean.
Here's the link to where we stayed:

Zanzibar Island beaches & Holidays, Tanzania travel 2019, Zanzibar Island safaris
Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous part of Tanzania in East Africa. It is composed of the Zanzibar Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 25–50 kilometres (16–31 mi) off the coast of the mainland, and consists of many small islands and two large ones: Unguja (the main island, referred to informally as Zanzibar) and Pemba. The capital is Zanzibar City, located on the island of Unguja. Its historic centre is Stone Town, which is a World Heritage Site.
The name Zanzibar is derived from the Persian zang-bâr signifying black coast.
Zanzibar's main industries are spices, raffia, and tourism. In particular, the islands produce cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper. For this reason, the islands, together with Tanzania's Mafia Island, are sometimes called the Spice Islands (a term also associated with the Maluku Islands in Indonesia). Zanzibar is the home of the endemic Zanzibar red colobus monkey, the Zanzibar servaline genet, and the (possibly extinct) Zanzibar leopard.
===============
The larger islands in the archipelago are highly fertile, with many agricultural resources. They're covered with small farms and everywhere the air is thick with the aroma spices – it's an exotic atmosphere. The beaches on these islands are often stunning: many are powdery white sand, shaded by palm trees. The sea is shallow and tropical, and the reefs are great for snorkelling and diving.
We've split Zanzibar up into the following areas – click on the headings:
Stone Town
The heart of Zanzibar Town, Stone Town, is a labyrinth of narrow alleys complete with palaces, mosques, and tiny shops. Come here for a night or two to stay in a small hotel or converted merchant's house – and soak up the atmosphere.
East Coast Zanzibar
The east coast of Zanzibar is lined with long, powder-white beaches; it's very sow and relaxed. We've included here the best small resorts; all quite different! Or travel offshore to the magical Mnemba Island - for the ultimate private island getaway!
Northern Zanzibar
Two or three hours' drive from Stone Town, Nungwi has long been a magnet for visitors seeking their slice of paradise. Come for good diving and beaches, and a lively village atmosphere; there's a lot going on here.
Michamvi Peninsula
Zanzibar's southeast, the Michamvi Peninsula is very similar to the East Coast – small lodges, and the odd larger hotel, on long, stunning, powder-white beaches and palm trees.
South-west Zanzibar
South of Stone Town, the Fumba Peninsula is one of the most relaxed and friendly corners of the island – and its very quiet, with few visitors. There are two beautiful lodges here – and offshore is an award-winning eco-resort on Chumbe Island
Zanzibar day-trips
See here for day-trips that are possible from virtually anywhere o the island. Talk to us to integrate one or more of these into your time on Zanzibar.
Pemba Island
Although part of the archipelago, Pemba is a half-hour flight north-east of Zanzibar. It's a less developed island with a more traditional people, and one smart lodge.
Mafia Island
Although not part of the Zanzibar Archipelago, the neighbouring Mafia Archipelago deserves to be better-known – even if we are often glad that it isn't. Come for a handful of great-value tiny beach lodges, and great snorkelling and diving. They're not glitzy or glamorous – but they are good.
The Best Hostel in Paje, Zanzibar: Teddy's New Place
The perfect accommodation for all who want to travel on a backpacker´s budget. Come and experience real Zanzibar vibes and meet great travellers from all over the world. The whole year you will find stunning Zanzibari food, cooked by one of the best chefs on the island, our nice and cozy bar with chilled music and plenty of space for relaxing.

EXPLORING EXOTIC ZANZIBAR and beautiful JAMBIANI BEACH
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go to the exotic island of Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean and let's visit Jambiani which has a beautiful 7 km long beach with swaying palms. The barrier reef lies a few kilometres out, with a beautiful crystal turquoise lagoon in between. The broad lagoon of swallow water is perfect for swimming, snorkeling and diving. Thanks to its steady light winds, Jambiani is also an ideal spot for wind- or kitesurfing. A high tide it’s nice to swim in the Indian Ocean and at low tide you can enjoy a nice beach walk.The charm of Jambiani Beach in Zanzibar is that it simply sits at the edge of where the coconut palms stop swaying and meets the azure waters of the Indian Ocean.
