Zanzibar is a tropical island off
the east coast of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. The island is home to a small
population of majority Muslims. As soon as you arrive, you realised how simple
the island is – making a line of 50 people overflows outside the airport :)
Local transportation is still mainly
horse and carts; however, the big resorts have their air-conditioned mini vans
and busses. The infrastructure is third world and locals live in simple huts
and houses.
The resorts are all world class,
including the one we stayed at – Hideaway at Nungwi. We have been fortunate to
travel to many islands and beaches over these last few years and the beach at
Nungwi in Zanzibar is probably the best we have ever seen or swam in. Clear
blue and turquoise waters, white, soft sand and awesome sunsets will await you
in Zanzibar!
If you happen to get enough of
the beach, the spice tour is a nice distraction from the serenity of the ocean.
Please also visit Stone Town, which compares to the old streets of Madinah!
If you haven’t visited Zanzibar
as yet, get it on your bucket list and go soon!
Safe travels
