About Zanzibar

Zanzibar is an island off the coast of Tanzania famous for its history, culture, archeological sites, and stunning white sand beaches. Zanzibar Province includes Pemba Island to the north as well as many smaller islands in the Zanzibar archipelago. To distinguish the main island from the larger province, the island alone is sometimes referred to as Unguja or "Zanzibar Island".
