Zanzibar, an archipelago off the coast of Tanzania in East Africa, is a popular tourist destination known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant culture. From its rich history and heritage to its breathtaking natural beauty, Zanzibar has something to offer for everyone.
Zanzibar is a treasure trove of tourist attractions, from its stunning beaches to its fascinating historical sites. Some of the top attractions in Zanzibar include Stone Town. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that features narrow streets, colourful markets, and historic buildings that reflect the island’s rich cultural heritage. Another must-visit attraction is the Jozani Forest. Home to a wide variety of exotic flora and fauna, including the red colobus monkey. Visitors can also enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving at some of the island’s top dive sites, such as Mnemba Atoll, Chumbe Island, and Nungwi.

One of the most popular sights is the Forodhani Gardens, a waterfront park in Stone Town that comes alive at night with food vendors and street performers. Other must-see sights include the Palace Museum, which was once the residence of the Sultans of Zanzibar, and the Old Fort, a 17th century fort that now serves as a cultural centre.
Zanzibar is renowned for its vibrant culture and native life, which is evident in the island’s music, dance, and cuisine.
