Zanzibar Photo Gallery

The ease of Zanzibari life is best experienced in the laid-back villages on the beautiful beaches on the north coast around Nungwi and Jambiani on the east coast.

A walk through the narrow, twisting passageways of the capital, Stone Town, plunges you into the past.

Inland, Jozani Forest is Zanzibar’s only protected reserve, and the only place in Africa where the red colobus monkey can be found.

Jozani Forest contains a large mangrove swamp and a tract of natural forest that is home to a few unique species, including the red colobus monkey, Sykes monkey, bush babies, duikers, hyraxes, over 50 species of butterfly and 40 species of birds. It’s also rumoured to be the stomping ground of the rare Zanzibar leopard.

You can also snorkel in the well-stocked reefs, swim with dolphins and meet a hundred-year-old giant tortoise on Prison Island.
