They say, “When you play the flute in Zanzibar, all Africa dances.”

Lying just off the coast of mainland Tanzania in East Africa, Zanzibar has mile after mile of snow-white sandy beaches shaded by majestic palms. But the Zanzibar Archipelago also offers visitors a wonderfully colorful culture, fascinating history, Eden-like nature, and much more. These islands, once known as the Spice Islands because of the lucrative trade in the commodity, are a feast for the senses even today.
