Zanzibar-The
Spice Island
This island on Tanzania's
north coast has lured travelers for centuries, and it was the influence of the
Shirazi Persians and the Omani Arabs that has lingered mostly on the island. Known
as the spice Island and the largest producer of cloves, Zanzibar's east coast
beaches are superb you can explore the spice and fruit plantations and visit Jozani
Forest.
Best
of all is the old stone town of Zanzibar. It's a cluster of winding streets lined
with whitewashed coral houses, bazaars, mosques, fortresses, two former sultan's
palaces, two huge cathedrals and faded colonial mansions all vividly evoking the
islands long history. WWST

Also
known as 'Prison Island', it's the most famous of the offshore islands. This island
was once owned by an Arab who used it for rebellious slaves. Later it was sold
to general Mathews who converted it into a prison. However it has never been used
as such. The island is also home to giant tortoises which are supposed to have
been brought over from Aldabra - an Atoll off the Seychelles. The small beach
disappears at high tide, but it is superb to swim in the crystal clear water with
splendid coral reefs. The island itself is well-forested, nice for a walk, an
ideal place for a day trip.
