ESCAPE
The Spice Island
Zanzibar, also known as the ‘Spice Island’,
farms aromatic spices often used in Western
homes – cloves, black pepper, turmeric,
cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemongrass. Ever
wondered how these herbs make it from
their homeland to your kitchen? Well, spice
farms are open for touring.
Budget-Friendly
Yes, you heard that right. Foreigners really can get bang for their buck
by visiting this beautiful spot. At the same time, the income generated from
tourism goes a long way to ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future
for the local people who call this island their home.
That being said, the memories you create and experiences you
encounter in Zanzibar are priceless.
Friendly people
Tanzanians are lovely, friendly people. As a Swahili nation, you might
initially have trouble communicating with the locals, but it won’t stop
their efforts to ensure you feel part of the community. Whether you stop
to buy fresh fish on the beach, browse through the fruit markets, or island
hop on one of the traditional boat taxis, the Zanzibaris are always ready
to welcome you and show you their way of life.
Sustainable
Ecotourism
Experiences
We are all about responsible
travel, exploring a destination in
such a way that both respects
and benefits the local people and
environment. Zanzibar has got this
right. They offer visitors a wealth of
different eco-tourism experiences
that ensure the long-term
sustainability of their ecosystem and
cultures.
Whether you’re staying in
an eco-lodge, volunteering
with us on our community or
marine conservation program,
or undertaking an ethical dolphin
tour, add the ‘responsible traveler’
badge to your belt when you next
travel.
