Luxury Vacations to Zanzibar

Zanzibar is more than an admittedly brilliant way to round out a safari experience in mainland Tanzania.

In historic Stone Town the aroma of grilled octopus skewers fills the air at Forodhani Gardens. Wander between knee-high piles of cinnamon sticks and vanilla pods at Darajani Market, past ornate wooden doorways to Freddie Mercury’s birthplace on Kizingo Street. A dala-dala taxi is your conveyance to the paradisiacal north side of the island where dazzling white-sand beaches and coral reefs abound. Here, the warm turquoise waters teem with shoals of threadfin butterflyfish as traditional Arabic dhows are silhouetted against the horizon.
