"Spice island" of Zanzibar

Location

Off the coast of Tanzania, just a few kilometres across the ocean from Dar es Salaam is the “spice island” of Zanzibar. A slumbering paradise in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, caressed by the cool trade winds. Once a bustling centre for slave and ivory trade, Zanzibar has been the historical doorway to the exploration of nineteenth century. Famous personalities like Dr. David Livingstone, Stanley, Burton, Speke, Rebman used Zanzibar as the jumping-off point for their African trips.
