What is Zanzibar Island- The name Zanzibar conjures up exotic and romantic images.
Zanzibar Island is an archipelago made up of Zanzibar and Pemba Islands, and several islets.
Zanzibar Island is located in the Indian Ocean, about 40 km. from the Tanzanian coast and 6° south of the equator.
Zanzibar Island (is known locally as Unguja, but as Zanzibar internationally) is 96 km long and 32 km wide, occupying a total area of approx. 1040 square km.
Zanzibar Island has beautiful sandy beaches with fringing coral reefs and the magic of historic Stone Town - the only functioning ancient town in East Africa.
Zanzibar Island is one of the world's most beautiful islands. |

From the shores of Zanzibar Island the great European explorers Burton, Speke, Krapf, Reubman, Stanley and Livingstone set out on their voyages of discovery into the hinterland.
The narrow streets of the old Stone Town are just some of the vived reminders of the Island's long and colourful history.
It's a fascinating place to wander around and get lost in. Wildlife- there is no large wild animals on Zanzibar Island and forest areas such as Jozani are inhibitet by monkeys, bush pigs and small antelopes, Civets- and rumour has it the elusive Zanzibar Leopald!! Various species of mongoose can also be found on the Island. There is a wide variety of bird life a large variety of butterflies in rural regions. The coral reefs that surround the Coast are rich in marine diversity, and make Zanzibar Island an ideal location for snorkelling and diving. |

Economy- Fishing and agriculture are the main economic activities of the local people. Zanzibar Island was once the world's largest producer of cloves.
Although cloves are still a major export along with coconut products and spices, tourism has been ear-marked as the primary foreign exchange earner, with more visitors coming to Zanzibar Island each year.
At this stage, the numbers are less than 100,000 annually, and the potential for tourism is relatively untapped. |

Zanzibar (pronounced /ˈzænzɨbɑr/) is part of the East African republic of Tanzania.
It consists of the Zanzibar Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 25–50 km (15–30 mi) off the coast off the mainland.
There are numerous small islands and two large ones: Unguja (the main island, informally referred to as "Zanzibar"), and Pemba.
Zanzibar was once a separate state with a long trading history within the Arab world; it united with Tanganyika to form Tanzania in 1964, and still enjoys a high degree of autonomy within the union.
The capital of Zanzibar, located on the
island of Unguja, is Zanzibar City, and its old quarter, known as Stone
Town, is a World Heritage Site.
It is still sometimes referred to as the Spice Islands (a term also associated with the Maluku Islands in Indonesia), because of the significance of its production of cloves, of which it used to be the world leader, and also nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper.
The ecology is of note for being the home of the endemic Zanzibar Red Colobus and the elusive Zanzibar Leopard.
The word "Zanzibar" probably derives from the Persian زنگبار, Zangi-bar ("coast of the blacks"); it is known as Zanji-bar (زنجبار) in Arabic. |
