Zanzibar - flight to the island of Spice

Step back in time with Zanzibar flights and visit an island of mystery, myth and romance. The largest of an island archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, Zanzibar has been a magnet for explorers, sultans, merchants and slave traders for centuries. It is the island where Stanley met Livingstone and where a sultan built baths for Sherehezade. Today, with its beautiful beaches, colourful reefs and lush mangrove and tropical forest, Zanzibar is calling to tourists too. With cheap flights to Zanzibar you will find friendly people and skilful tradesmen selling everything from batik and clove oil to hand carved treasure chests. Wander the narrow alleyways of Stone Town with its carved balconies and ornately decorated doorways, past mosques, churches and hindu temples. Take a look at the old Arab Fort where you can drink coffee and see women henna painting hands and feet. Zanzibar is the original spice island so take a tour inland and wander through groves of cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla or sail the Indian Ocean on a traditional dhow cruise.
