ZANZIBAR FLYING SAFARIS

Zanzibar is still the best-kept secret in the Indian Ocean, with its fascinating historical Stone Town and magnificent beaches. Zanzibar is undoubtedly the Ultimate Indian Ocean Experience. Zanzibar is the evocation of the exotic, an archipelago nestled in the Indian Ocean and a destination both legendary and mysterious.

From this remote outpost, at the hub of the Monsoon trading routes, history was enacted, journeys of discovery were planned, Sultanate empires were established and the first mediaeval global village was founded. Zanzibar is renowned for its incredible diving among other water sports. Zanzibar retains the imprint of its historic legacy in the tumbling streets of the old town in the Arabic-dialect Swahili language and the rare antiques of the bazaars and markets.

The haloes of idyllic clean beached that adorn the island's coast, and the fragrant spice plantations that blossom in the interior make Zanzibar The Ultimate Indian Ocean Destination, the jewel in East Africa's crown.
