8 days/ 7 nights Zanzibar Honeymoon | Stone Town & Matemwe Beach 2

Overview

What better place to celebrate your honeymoon or even wedding anniversary than the enchanting Zanzibar archipelago – fondly referred to as the “Spice Islands”. Zanzibar’s colourful history is an epic saga of travelers and traders, raiders and colonisers. To its shores came Sumerians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Indians, Chinese, Malays, Persians, Portuguese, Arabs, Dutch and the British, each leaving behind a legacy of their stay. Bantu tribes from the mainland were the first inhabitants of the island, but by 700 AD the Indian Ocean trade winds had brought the first visitors from across the seas.

Situated on the western coast of Zanzibar’s Unguja Island, UNESCO-listed Stone Town is the oldest part of Zanzibar City and is the cultural heart of the island.
