Zanzibar is best known as the 'spice island' was the centre for the slave trade in East Africa and base for David Living Stone's expeditions into the unexplored African interior. Smell full of the aroma of cloves and other spices, which still provide a livelihood for many people of Zanzibar . There are two main islands making up Zanzibar , Unguja and Pemba , but Unguja is popularly referred to as Zanzibar. Both Island are famous for its, mile-long untouched beaches with white sands. The island is accessible from the mainland by ferry or by scheduled flights.  Pemba is most easily reached by ferry from Zanzibar , and Mafia is best reached by charter flight from Dar Es Salaam .

The islands are surrounded by unspoiled coral reefs, and are becoming famous for the spectacular scuba diving and snorkelling. The old  " Stone Town " of Zanzibar has been made into a world heritage site. It is a fascinating place with narrow winding streets, old Zanzibari style wooden doors, small shops, busy bazaars and central markets.

The different races that had settled in Zanzibar over centuries have left an impact on the people and the architecture.

The narrow streets, the House of Wonders, are just some vivid reminders of the Island’s long and coloured history. Different excursions are arranged while in Zanzibar taking visitors to spices plantations, the old slave cave, and the prison island, ruins of what was the palace of the Sultan Said, the old slave market and many other historical places.
