One of the oldest islands in the Indian Ocean, the Zanzibar archipelago is filled with atmosphere, mystery, and beautiful beach experiences. Numerous lodging alternatives are available at various price points, and there is a lot to see, do, and learn about. The tiny island nation of Zanzibar is a must-see towards the conclusion of any trip to Africa because it is the birthplace of the Swahili language, the location of Sultans’ Palaces, and famous for its spice farms. It is especially fantastic when added onto a Tanzanian safari.
On the Zanzibar islands, there are many options for the perfect place to kick back and take in the view of the white dhow sails gliding across the stunningly blue waters of the Indian Ocean. There are excellent options for every traveler, whether they are planning a trip to Zanzibar, a honeymoon, or some post-safari relaxation.

One of the most well-liked tourist destinations in Zanzibar is Jozani Forest. The jungle is the last remaining refuge for the Zanzibar red colobus monkey in the entire world. One of Zanzibar’s greenest areas is the forest, which is found in the eastern section of the island. It serves as a stark reminder of the damage we have caused to the ecosystem over the years.
In the Jozani jungle, it’s simple to get lost and locate the monkeys. Numerous nature trails wind through stunning forests, and red colobus monkeys are not afraid of people. Be sure to cross the street and see the Mangrove forest after your visit to Jozani.
Zanzibar is one of the top five things to do in Zanzibar and is frequently referred to as the “Spice Island” due to its centuries-long production of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and cloves. The majority of these spice excursions leave from Stone Town and take you to a sizable spice farm where you can smell, touch, and taste the various Zanzibar spices.
We traveled to a small sandbank that was three hours away from being submerged by high tide off the coast of Zanzibar. Visitors to this island can snorkel, enjoy the cold morning air, and the best views of the ocean’s blue color.
After that, you can continue snorkeling or visit a secret lagoon before dining on a seafood feast on Kwale Island. Massive baobabs, quaint boutiques, and additional beach splendor may be found here.
One of Zanzibar’s many fascinating sites to visit is Prison Island. To get to the famous Prison Island, or Changuu Island to be precise, take a boat from Stone Town, which is only 5 kilometers away. This jail was constructed in the late 1800s and used as an island for slaves, aggressive inmates, and quarantines.
Observing the neighboring tortoise sanctuary is the major highlight of a trip to prison island. The Seychelles are also home to several of the enormous Aldabross tortoises.
Exploring the alleyways of Stone Town is one of the nicest things to do in Zanzibar. In Stone Town, there are a lot of interesting things to explore, such as lovely boutique stores and lots of fantastic restaurants. Explore the Old Fort and the Forodhani Gardens!
