Zanzibar is an archipelago of islands, formed by extinct volcanoes and dominated by Zanzibar and Pemba islands. While the island chain remains a part of Tanzania, they are a semi-autonomous state and thanks to this and their offshore location, have their own characteristic, culture and flair.

The historic centre is Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Zanzibar boasts some wonderful hotels and resorts, all of which offer outstanding value, with friendly and attentive staff and a sense of open space in which to appreciate the charms of this beautiful region
