Tours
The mystical isle of Zanzibar was founded more than 1200 years ago, when Arab dhows first visited from Arabia and Turkey in search of ivory, slaves and spice. The island is still bathed in the aroma of cloves and cinnamon, whilst memories of sultans and slaves mix with the haunting call of the muezzins in the island's old Stone Town. Today Stone Town, with its ornate architecture, has been declared a World Heritage Site, and from here, you can visit spice plantations, swim with dolphins, snorkel on coral reefs or dive azure seas. Offshore, the emerald crests of atoll islands lie waiting to be explored:
