The spice islands of Zanzibar, or to be more
precise the two islands of Pemba & Unguja,
have developed an almost legendary aura
which attracts travellers often for no other
reason than the name.
Most head for Unguja, where the old capital
of Stone Town has an inviting maze of tiny
streets in the old town area.
Be aware that it can be dangerous to walk
alone here at night, but in the daytime the
street markets & unique architecture make
a casual meander in the sunshine a time of
relaxed enjoyment.
Outside the main town, the coastal villages
are lined with pure white sand, palm trees,
and clear pearl blue waters.
Diving and snorkelling trips to the coral reefs
are popular, and you can watch traditional
dhows being built in the centre at Nungwi.
Of course, you can’t visit Zanzibar and not
take an excursion to the spice fields. Trips
leave regularly from Stone Town, & usually
offer a lunch as well for a reasonable cost.
