The place

About Zanzibar

Stone Town's winding alleys, spice farms, and Nungwi's turquoise water: the perfect safari finish. Zanzibar was the world's largest clove producer for over a century, and the spice tours through local farms are still the best way to understand the island's history. The north coast has the calmest water; the east coast has the biggest tides.
