Stone Town
The capital city of Zanzibar, Stone Town boasts centuries of history. Winding, narrow streets lead to markets, souvenir shops, restaurants, bars and more. Historical sites include: the Tip Tip House, the Old Fort, the Peoples Palace, the House of Wonders, the Kidichi Persian Baths and Dr. Livingston's House.
North Coast
Find a mellow atmosphere and the opportunity to swim at all tides. Excellent diving and snorkelling. Visit the Turtle Sanctuary, where injured turtles are nursed to health before being released. The north coast is the dhow-building capital of Zanzibar. Enjoy a party atmosphere at most of the bars and hotels at night.
East Coast
Less of a party atmosphere at night compared with the North Coast. There is no swimming at low tide, as the tide recedes 1-2 km. Great snorkelling and diving is available, with a barrier reef about 1 km offshore.
