Just 25 miles off the coast of Tanzania lies the island of Zanzibar. The Sultans of Oman brought prosperity to the islands largely by encouraging the planting of cloves and by promoting the slave trade on which the plantations depended. After the collapse of the clove industry, Unguja or Zanzibar, as it is now commonly known, began encouraging the tourism industry with the result of theisland becoming a popular destination for those seeking something a little different.

The island is a fascinating blend of cultures, traditions and history and together with beautiful beaches and turquoise blue sea Zanzibar is an excellent choice for a holiday destination.

Why not combine a relaxing few days on the beautiful island of Zanzibar,after a safari in either Tanzania or Kenya, Zanzibar offers the perfect way to end your holiday Enjoy watersports in the clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Still relatively undeveloped Zanzibar is a great destination to get away from it all. Call Genie Travel for a quote.
