On the largest island, Zanzibar (or Unguja), visitors can immerse themselves in spice tours, sample authentic local dishes, and explore the winding streets of the historic Stone Town. A World Heritage Site, Stone Town thrives with vibrant markets and rich flavors, all set against a backdrop of unique coralline stone and mangrove timber architecture that tells the tale of its past as a Swahili trading hub. Of course, there are the world-class Zanzibar beaches, perfect for those seeking a relaxing, luxurious getaway. Zanzibar also offers secluded rocky coastlines, private jetties, and the lush mangrove forests of Jozani. Along with Zanzibar, Pemba, Mafia, and other smaller islands are home to some of East Africa’s most beautiful beaches and top-notch dive sites.
