Zanzibar

All About Zanzibar

 Zanzibar is an archipelago of four islands off the coast of East Africa. Its main island, Unguja, is often referred to as Zanzibar. Because of its strategic location along the spice and slave trade routes in the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar has been a stronghold for many countries throughout its history. Oman even declared Zanzibar its capital for 30 years in 1832. Zanzibar then became a British protectorate until it joined Tanganyika in the 1960s to form Tanzania.

Today, its main attractions are spices and tourism which makes a prefect destination for vacation experience.

The town’s narrow streets are bustling with life, offering tourists a beautiful mix made up of local women offering you henna tattoos, Maasai warriors playing pool in a corner cafe, colorful markets, delicious food, fabulous shopping, and plenty of different history. And then, there are the beach resorts.

Zanzibar has the best Spices plantation where you get to shop for different spices like, cinnamon, ginger, lemongrass, chili, cardamom, vanilla, turmeric, curry leaves, nutmeg, cloves, bay leaves, and many more kitchen staples that grow here. You’ll also find coconut, jackfruit, durian, guava, papaya, and ten species of banana.
