The fifty islands of the Zanzibar Archipelago lie in aquamarine seas under a blazing equatorial sun. They are hot, sultry, exotic and idyllic. There are tiny coral atolls with tumbling green creepers and turtles’ nests on the beach. Sugar white sandbanks are exposed at low tide, sloping gently to crystal clear waters and perfect for swimming among reefs teeming with life.
The ‘spice islands’ – Unguja and Pemba – have an exotic, almost legendary allure and offer a complete change of pace from the Tanzanian mainland. Unguja, the larger of the two main islands, is more commonly known simply as Zanzibar. Apart from historic Stone Town, with its fascinating labyrinth of narrow streets, it‘s known for its beautiful palm-fringed beaches and pristine coral reefs. Pemba, in contrast, is seldom visited and very laid-back, offering a largely undiscovered culture and challenging diving opportunities.
