The
beaches in Zanzibar are a paradise, interspersed with picturesque fishing villages,
where the people live a simple way of life, unchanged over the years. There are
more than 25 fantastic beaches in Zanzibar, and some are so peaceful and remote
that the only noise breaking the silence is likely to be the ocean. At the northern
tip of the island is Nungwi, approached by a road lined by banana palms, mangroves
and coconut trees. This is the dhow building capital of Zanzibar island, so it
is a good place to see traditional craftsmen at work. A
short walk from Nungwi is the Ras Nungwi Beach Hotel, an eco-tourism oriented
resort with an unspoilt beach, and peace and relaxation on tap! It also offers
a variety of watersports and a fully equipped dive centre which specialises in
trips to the spectacular Mnemba Atoll. On the west coast of Zanzibar, Mangapwani
beach is worth a visit, and to the east are the beaches of Matemwe, Pwani Mchangani,
Kiwengwa, Uroa, Bwejuu and Jambiani, all with stretches of beautiful and uncrowded
sands. The Shooting Star Inn is a small family-run hotel at Kiwengwa. Zanzibar
also boasts several small offshore islands which are ideal for a day-trip. Prison
(or Changu) island is the most popular with tourists because it is only a short
trip from Stone Town. Originally, it was used by Arabs to detain recalcitrant
slaves, and then a jail was built by the British, but it was never actually used.
Visitors to Zanzibar will notice a large population of ancient Aldabra tortoises.
Other islets near to Stone Town are Chapwani, Chumbe and Bawe. | |  |

and provided documentaries and Hollywood with their perfect vision of an unexplored
continent. Tanzania

wealth, a land of names such Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and Ngorongoro,
and we are proud to welcome our guests with the warm 'Karibu' of a friendly people.
