Located on the east coast of Africa you’ll find the relaxing glamour of Zanzibar. Also known as ‘Spice Island’, this offshore treasure combines a spice-scented history with evocative scenery and perfect beaches. Spend a day in Stone Town, the ancient city and UNESCO cultural heritage site which is small, safe, charming but a bit of a maze.

Take an excursion to Changuu Island – home to Aldabra giant tortoises – with the chance to visit the tortoises, sunbathe and snorkel. Indulge in the freshest of seafood, meet lovely locals and experience the slower pace of island life on this zen African gem.
