Zanzibar

We offer you the opportunity to combine your trip with a beach holiday on the beautiful island of Zanzibar.

The name Zanzibar is derived from two words, the Arabic “Zinj” meaning black, and ‘barr’ means country, “Land of the Blacks.” This is a mix of different cultures and societies, there live among other Indians, Arabs and Africans. This is reflected in the buildings on the island, especially in Stone Town. Stone Town is famous for its labyrinth of narrow alleys, and has received the UNESCO World Heritage status in 2000. The food on the island is a must – especially the necessary fish dishes are worth a try (also very affordable).

TIP

A very nice place in Zanzibar to get something to eat is a restaurant named “the Rock”, this restaurant is situated on a rock in the Indian Ocean.
You will be picked up by boat from the coast and brought to the restaurant, the kitchen is pretty simple but very tasty! The restaurant is located on the east coast about 10 minutes drive from Paje (East Coast).
