Powder-white beaches, turquoise lagoons, centuries-old Stone Town and air perfumed with cloves — the Spice Island is the perfect finale to any safari.
Lose yourself in a labyrinth of carved wooden doors, bustling bazaars and rooftop cafés in UNESCO-listed Stone Town — once the crossroads of Africa, Arabia and India.
Then head inland to the spice plantations to touch, smell and taste the cloves, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg that made this island famous across the world.
