ZANZIBAR
ISLAND
Zanzibar
the Spice Island lies in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Kenya
and Tanzania Mainland. To explore Zanzibar is to discover a reality
in which tourists are finding hard to catch on.
Here
the charm of nature and legend combine as one in a world of white
beaches and finite variety of fish and sandy coral insects emerge
from the sea at low tide. Zanzibar is a total green Island of tall
trees, huge baobabs and slender coconut palms pervaded by the sand
of cloves drying out in the sun.
The
fortified stone town overlooking the sea was founded by Arabs Sultans.
It was once the principle market on the trade route between Asia
and Africa and during the last century it was the point of departure
for explorers in pursuit of mysteries of Africa.
