Dimana

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.
