About Us

Lying approximately 25 miles from the Tanzania's coast is the Zanzibar Archipelago consisting of over 50 islands, most of which have a long history and a rich cultural mix.  Zanzibar Island (locally known as 'Unguja Island'), is located in the Indian Ocean and is 60 miles long and 20 miles wide, occupying a total area of approximately 650 square miles.  Zanzibar and the larger islands in the archipelago are highly fertile, with many agricultural resources. They're covered with small farms and everywhere the air is thick with the aroma spices – it's an exotic atmosphere.

The beaches on these islands are often stunning with white sandy beaches fringed by coral reefs.  The sea is shallow and tropical, and the reefs are great for snorkeling and diving.

Stone Town was constructed during the 19th century and remains largely unchanged. Labyrinths of narrow alleys lead to palaces, mosques and old Arab houses; tiny shops sell dotted tinga-tinga paintings, Zanzibari clocks and heavily adorned chests. The early-morning markets are fabulous, as determined Zanzibaris haggle over fragrant spices, exotic fruit and enormous fish.  
Stone Town is said to be the only functioning ancient town in East Africa.  It was an ancient trading port of the sultans of Oman in the 19th century.
