Stone Town is a World Heritage site and is the most atmospheric and vibrant of all the remaining traditional Swahili settlements. Architecturally it’s a fusion of African and Arab influences not dissimilar to the Medina of Morocco with its narrow streets, twists and turns. Culturally modern Stone Town is a lively melting pot that embraces visitors and manages to offer a selection of fine dining and curious attractions without compromising its old world charm.
There are many islands surrounding Zanzibar of which prison Island is the most popular to visit. It is reached by boat and is famous for the giant tortoises and peacocks, which can be seen among the ruins in the courtyard. The giant tortoise, the most popular attraction on the island can reach a century old and some over a meter tall. The island is fringed with a beautiful coral reef, ideal for snorkeling, and has a lovely white beach for sunbathing
For those interested in culture and history, no trip to Zanzibar would be complete without a tour of a traditional spice farm. Over the years Zanzibar has been one of the largest exporters of cloves and other spices and has been used as a welcome stop over for the many merchants exploiting the trade winds on route to India
