About the destination

Zanzibar is not just an island. It's a place where you arrive and feel like you've stepped into a different logic of time.

The semi-autonomous archipelago off the coast of Tanzania is built from layers — Arab, Indian, African, Portuguese, British — and you can see all of them at once on a single street in Stone Town. Intricately carved wooden doors, the scent of cloves and cinnamon, the Forodhani night market, where locals and tourists eat at the same tables. Not a place to tick off a list. A place to feel.

The beaches are on the north and east coast — Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje — and the sand is fine and white in a way you rarely find elsewhere. The water is warm year-round and shifts between turquoise and green depending on the light.

But Zanzibar has another rhythm if you look for it. Boat trips to coral reefs, snorkeling in Mnemba Atoll, and a blue safari with dolphins off the south coast. Inland, Jozani Forest — the island's only tropical forest — is home to the red colobus monkey, whose distinctive reddish fur is found nowhere else on Earth.

Stone Town deserves at least a full day. An old city with slave trade routes, sultans' palaces, and a market that never stops. UNESCO recognised it as a World Heritage Site in 2000, and it remains one of the few African cities to have preserved its historic urban structure almost entirely intact.

Best time to visit Zanzibar: December to February and June to October, when rainfall is minimal, and the sea is calm.
