Stopover on the spice island

In the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Tanzania, be tempted by a stay in the Zanzibar archipelago. A name that evokes spices, merchants, and dhows, which create the magic of the three islands that make up the archipelago. From north to south, you can choose to set down your suitcases on discreet Pemba, vibrant Unguja (the main island), or wild Mafia. Each island will reveal its wonders, between pristine white sandy beaches, artisans sculpting wood and metal, and shimmering coral reefs, to ensure you have an enchanting seaside holiday.
