Zanzibar Luxury Holidays
Renowned for its spices, cloves and coconuts, the ancient and romantic island of Zanzibar is nestled in the idyllic azure waters of the Indian Ocean, just off Africa’s east coast.
A century ago, Arabian travellers enjoyed the island’s heady aromas of cinnamon and spice. Today, Zanzibar is the perfect location for couples and honeymooners to soak in the blissful surroundings.
