The island of Zanzibar (also known as Unguja) is known as the "Spice Island" because of its long-standing association with the clove industry. A low-lying stretch of land, approximately 37 km off the coast of Tanzania, it has always exerted a powerful fascination over the imagination of the world, out of all proportion to its size. Stone Town is the oldest section of Zanzibar Town and is made up of a labyrinth of winding lanes, ancient stone houses, Arabian arches, heavy carved wooden doors, circular towers, narrow latticed windows, overhanging balconies and a fascinating selection of bazaars, curio shops, art galleries and spice troves. Stone Town is the only functioning historical city in East Africa and remains much the same today as it was 200 years ago - alive with a bustling crowd of 'bui bui' veiled women, travelling tea sellers, banks of old men chatting on the 'baraza' (benches) of the alleys, skulking cats and laughing children. Enjoy as a standalone Africa vacation or as an addition to a safari.
