Zanzibar
 |
Zanzibar is an island partner state of Tanzania. The Zanzibar archipelago is set in the Indian Ocean and made up of the larger islands of Pemba and Unguja (also called Zanzibar Island). Zanzibar is also known as ’The Spice Island’ due to the delicious variety of spices grown on the island. Attractions on Zanzibar include the historical town of Stone Town, the exclusive island of Mnemba Island and Zanzibar's prisine and untouched East Coast.
The Zanzibar archipelago is a jewel in the Indian Ocean and is chiefly known by the larger islands of Pemba and Unguja (also called Zanzibar Island). Close to the mainland, it is easily accessible by hydrofoil or a short scheduled flight from Dar es Salaam. |
