Zanzibar is a tranquil, tropical paradise nestled off the east coast of Tanzania in the warm Indian Ocean. Known universally for its aromatic spice farms and white-sand beaches, Zanzibar offers an exotic retreat with its beautiful coral reefs, enchanting historical Stone Town – a UNESCO World Heritage site – and ample opportunities for wildlife viewing, including the unique character of the endemic Red Colobus Monkey. The island's vivid cultural heritage, a blend of African, Arab, European, and Indian influences, is mirrored in the intricate architecture, flavorful cuisine, bustling markets, and vibrant festivals. Whether you're exploring the labyrinth-like streets of Stone Town, lounging on a sun-drenched beach, or savoring a locally grown clove-infused meal, Zanzibar offers an enchanting escape that exudes an intoxicatingly spicy and invigoratingly serene atmosphere.

How safe is this place for female solo travelers? I have been there four times and always loved and enjoyed it. It is a budget-friendly destination and a lot of fun. The best sunset and sunrise I’ve ever experienced in my life.

Zanzibar is beautiful and amazing.

Don’t miss out on activities such as 
Swimming with horses and turtles.

It’s safe to move around alone even at night. 

I moved around stone town, Paje and Nungwi.

Nungwi has the best beaches.
