3 Days Zanzibar Safari
3 Days Zanzibar Safari
3 Days Zanzibar Safari: Zanzibar was once an active trading center and an important port on the spice route of East Africa however today, Zanzibar Island is a relaxing, coastal location where you can spend holidays on the Indian Ocean vacation while in Africa while walking along the beaches with soft and delicate white sand sinking below your feet. The gentle waves from crystal clear waters are seemingly subdued by the unending miles of seashore that embrace its marine ecology.
Looking out over the vast ocean and the shimmering turquoise waters dotted with white triangular sails of the picturesque traditional fishing dhows will take your breath away. There are also a host of smaller islands that lie along the coast, each more scenic than the other and as you will learn on your coastal tour, you will learn that Zanzibar is not simply a single island, but an archipelago of islands that include; Unguja or Zanzibar, Pemba Island on the north and surrounding isles like Mnemba, Chapwani, Chumbe, Bawe, Changuu and many more other islands.
Some of these islands are ancient coral beds that nature has covered with dense vegetation while avian and marine life have moved into making them their home. On the north of Zanzibar, lies the Nungwi beach that is accessible with a long, winding drive through its charming, laid-back village. On the north-western side, lies Kendwa Beach, a favored trendy place for party lovers on a full moon.
