Complete Guide to Zanzibar Island Paradise

Welcome to the Spice Islands

Zanzibar is an archipelago off the coast of Tanzania consisting of two main islands: Unguja (commonly referred to as Zanzibar) and Pemba. For centuries, these islands have attracted seafarers and adventurers from around the world, creating a unique blend of African, Arab, Indian, and European cultures. Today, Zanzibar is famous for its pristine white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, rich history in Stone Town, and aromatic spice plantations.

Unguja Island (Zanzibar Island)

Unguja is the main island, home to the historic Stone Town and the majority of beach resorts. It offers a perfect blend of culture, history, and beach relaxation.

Key Areas:

  • Stone Town: UNESCO World Heritage Site, maze of narrow alleys, historic buildings
  • Nungwi: Northern tip, stunning sunsets, luxury resorts, vibrant nightlife
  • Kendwa: Adjacent to Nungwi, swimmable at all tides, full moon parties
  • Paje: Southeast coast, kite surfing paradise, bohemian vibe
  • Matemwe: Northeast coast, peaceful, excellent diving at Mnemba Atoll
  • Jambiani: Traditional fishing village, authentic culture

Pemba Island

Pemba Island, located about 80km north of Unguja, is less developed and offers a more authentic experience. It's hillier and greener than Unguja, growing three times as many cloves.

Highlights:

  • Ngezi Forest Reserve: Protected area with rare trees and the Pemba flying fox
  • World-class diving: Pemba Channel offers some of the best diving in East Africa
  • Game fishing: Marlin, tuna, wahoo, and sharks
  • Historical ruins: Ancient mosques and tombs
