Safari Overview

Zanzibar’s colourful history is a saga of travellers and traders, raiders and colonisers. To its shores came Summerians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Indians, Chinese, Malays, Persians, Portuguese, Arabs, Dutch and the British, each leaving behind a legacy of their stay. From the island the great European explorers – Burton, Speke, Livingstone, Stanley – set off for their voyages of discovery into the vast, uncharted wilderness of the great African hinterland. Bantu tribes from the mainland were the first inhabitants of the island, but by 700 AD the Indian Ocean tradewinds had brought Persians and Arabs to its shores.

5 day Zanzibar beach holiday is the best program with full rest at blue bay resort doing some snorkeling, windsurfing, sailing, scuba diving, dhow trips, etc.
