The Spice Island of the Indian Ocean — a Tanzanian archipelago of extraordinary multicultural character and breathtaking natural beauty where the UNESCO-listed Stone Town’s labyrinthine ancient lanes of carved wooden doors, Arabic merchant houses, and Persian bathhouses tell the extraordinary story of a Swahili coastal civilisation shaped by a thousand years of Indian Ocean trade, the white powder beaches of Nungwi and Kendwa offer some of East Africa’s most beautifully pristine and most perfectly warm Indian Ocean coastline, and the extraordinary clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla plantations of Zanzibar’s spice tour trails create the most uniquely sensory and most genuinely aromatic travel experience in all of Africa.
