Spice Island Magic. . . The island has magnificent, long stretches of palm-fringed beach with sand as
fine and white as icing sugar. it's blessed with warm azure seas, well protected
for swimming by distant fringing reefs.
Low in political coups and high in bliss-charged activities, the Zanzibar Archipelago
is a mere hop, skip and a jump from the Tanzanian mainland. Its heady lure has
tempted travellers, traders, slave-traders and colonists for centuries, and the
archipelago continues to reflect this tumultuous past.
Zanzibar Island (known locally as Unguja) gets most of the headlines, but the
archipelago also consists of lush Pemba to the north and numerous smaller islands
and islets poised in luxuriously turquoise seas. There are countless unexplored
pockets and loads of opportunities for flat-out hedonism.
Full country name: Zanzibar Area: 17,494 sq km Population: 621,000
