Zanzibar is a breathtakingly beautiful island off the eastern coast of Africa. Its capital is Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and easily one of the most unique cities in the world.

There’s stunning scuba diving available off the coast and a blissful white-sand beach scene here too – but further inland is where Stone Town really wows, with its labyrinth-like streets providing the perfect setting for real exploration. Wind through endless alleyways and immerse yourself in African culture, stopping only to shop, sample local teas and marvel at the town’s historic buildings.
