if you are looking for a slightly more active holiday, due to its natural location and history, zanzibar has a lot more to experience than just its beautiful beaches.
the island has a rich and varied history which has seen occupation from the portuguese, the sultanate of oman and the british at various times over the last 500 years. these influences have left a myriad architectural styles and cultural influences which culminated in the capital, stone town, being made a world heritage site by unesco in 2000.
