ZANZIBAR
the name alone awakens romantic feelings.
 
This tropical island in the Indian Ocean lies approximately 60km off the coast of Tanzania. It unites the charm of the South Sea with the exotic Muslim culture and most of the local people make their living from spice cultivation. Here, time stands still and this entices both visitors seeking the numerous palm-lined paradise beaches and those interested in the world cultural heritage of Stone Town. And not to be forgotten: Zanzibar's most famous son, Freddie Mercury, was born in Stone Town on the 5th of September, 1946.
