When you think of Zanzibar, you are probably thinking of crystal clear waters, pearly white sand and swaying palm trees. However, Zanzibar is more than just a pretty face. The historical and cultural centre of Stone Town is a maze of quaint alleys and old buildings just waiting to be explored. Its rich and diverse past has seen people from all over the world move to Zanzibar and this cultural blending can be seen in full force in Stone Town where African, Indian, Arab and European influences seamlessly intermingle, giving the island a completely unique vibe that will permeate your soul and stay with you forever. Take a wander through the Darajani Bazaar and check out the fresh produce or learn a bit about Zanzibar’s history by visiting the former slave market to make the most of your time here.
