Zanzibar is a beautiful chain of island on the Indian Ocean, just 31 miles from the coast of Tanzania. Even though the islands belong to the country of Tanzania, they enjoy some degree of self government. Travelers booking flights to Zanzibar will discover islands with a rich history, beautiful beaches, a lush interior and many spice crops that have given the island the nickname of the Spice Islands. Most travelers booking flights to Zanzibar will arrive in Zanzibar City, on the island of Unguja. Zanzibar City was founded by Persian traders and later occupied by the Portuguese and the British until independence in 1963. Centuries of Persian, Omani and European influence have created a unique Zanzibari culture. The colonial area of Zanzibar City is known as Stone Town. Visit the Old Fort, the Palace of Wonders (a former Sultan’s residence), the Old Persian baths (built in the 19th century) and Livingstone's House (another Sultan’s palace that was taken over by the British and used by Dr David Livingstone himself). Zanzibar offers many beautiful beaches; where brilliant white sands meet the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. The islands are located close to the equator, with minimal seasonal variations, so travelers can book their flights to Zanzibar all year around. The tropical setting is ideal for spice crops, experience a tour of a spice farm and enjoy the aroma of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper. Visit the lush Jozani Forest (the island’s national park) and admire its colony of Zanzibar Red Colobus monkeys. Zanzibari food is spicy and includes plenty of fresh seafood. The waterfront of Zanzibar City offers many opportunities to try fresh seafood or to sip a drink while enjoying a tropical sunset.
