Days 34 & 35: Zanzibar

History aside, Zanzibar offers a wealth of experiences for the visitor. Today the quiet streets of the old Stone Town still retain their Arabic influence, from the Medina-like shops to the palaces of the Sultans, who founded their vast empires on the spoils of the slave and ivory trade.

The island is famous for its spices and an excursion around a spice plantation is always a fascinating experience. Other options include a trip to the beautiful beaches and giant tortoises of Prison Island, a full day scuba dive in Nungwe or a fishing trip in a traditional dhow.

Mopeds are available for hire if you‟d like to explore the more remote areas of the island. Zanzibar is a seafood lover‟s paradise. Numerous restaurants offer a great variety of the freshest catch from the ocean - crayfish being a popular speciality.

Alternatively, mingle with the locals for dinner at the Forodhani Gardens seafront market, where delicious, inexpensive seafood is on offer. Accommodation and meals on Zanzibar at own expense.
