Jambo! Welcome to Zanzibar, Tanzania — a stunning island escape known for its white-sand beaches, vibrant markets and rich cultural heritage. Once a key hub in the East African slave trade and ruled by Arabian sultans, Zanzibar’s past has shaped a unique blend of African, Arab and European influences. With no activities planned today, you’re free to explore at your own pace — wander through the winding streets of Stone Town, discover bustling bazaars, historic mosques and ancient ruins, or head to the seafront for a cocktail as you take in the ocean breeze.
