Stone Town

Stone Town is the old part and the main city of Zanzibar, the former capital of Zanzibar Sultanate, a flourishing centre of spice trade. Stonetown is a city of prominent historical and artistic importance in East Africa. Its architecture, mostly dating back to the 19th century, reflects the diverse influences underlying the Swahili culture, giving a unique mixture of Arb, Persian, Indian and European elements. For this reason, the town is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. You will marvel with the Stone Town doors, historical artifacts documenting turbulent past of the island nation, tiny yet a key player in the old world trade route.

nungwi beach

Nungwi, situated at the northernmost point of Zanzibar, ranks as the second or third most extensive settlement on the island. Bordered by azure ocean on three sides, Nungwi has consistently drawn visitors in search of a paradise retreat. Originally a fishing village and renowned for traditional dhow boat construction, Nungwi has transformed into a sought-after tourist destination, earning a spot on CNN's compilation of the '100 best beaches in the world

matemwe beach

Matemwe, positioned on the northeastern shoreline of the island, boasts the longest beach in Zanzibar. Its primary economic activities revolve around seaweed farming and fishing. The village serves as a hub for an educational initiative focused on enhancing computer literacy among the local population. Additionally, it hosts the 'Dada' cooperative, meaning 'sister' in Swahili, which aims to generate employment opportunities for Zanzibari women. The cooperative engages these women in crafting and preparing handmade cosmetics and food products, which are then marketed and sold in Stone Town.

jambiani beach

Jambiani is a group of villages on a idyllic beach surrounded by a strong culture of seaweed with many farms scattered along the coast and employing 15,000 inhabitants, mainly women. The island of Zanzibar produces around 11,000 tonnes of seaweed a year, much of it from Jambiani sources. When walking on the beach, you will see many women working, collecting seaweed! A perfect backdrop for many photos.

Pemba Island

Pemba is comparable to Zanzibar in size, but far more traditional in outlook, and visitor numbers here are tiny. Pemba is at a 30-minute flight north-east of Zanzibar Island.

mnemba island

Mnemba is offshore, the ultimate island lodge for those who can afford it. Dubbed the "Millionaire's Island" Mnemba is wrapped by an oval reef (often referred to as the Mnemba Atoll), which has been declared a Marine Conservation Area.

Fumba peninsula

Fumba in south-west Zanzibar, is a very laid-back and friendly corner of the island, with two good lodges, while offshore is the award-winning eco-resort on Chumbe Island.
