About Zanzibar
Zanzibar is truly relaxing
as well as very historical. Zanzibar is most probably as justified as
one of the main reasons of visiting Tanzania as are Kilimanjaro
mountain, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. 90% of tourists visiting Tanzania
end their safari with few nights in this beautiful island. Deeply
immersed in the history of colonialization and slavery, rich Arabic and
Islamic culture, together with pristine beaches along the Indian Ocean
shoreline are the speciality of this island.A separate state within Tanzania, Zanzibar consists of two large
islands: Unguja (Zanzibar island) and Pemba. Most of the tourists stick
to Zanzibar island in their visit. Zanzibaris are mostly occupied in
farming and fishing. Main exports include clove and coconut products.
The main concentration is at the capital- Zanzibar town in the west
coast.
