Zanzibar’s main island, Unguja, combines white-sand beaches and coral reefs with a deep Swahili, Arab, Indian and European trading history. The historic heart, Stone Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of carved doors, narrow lanes and old merchant houses.
The island is famous for its spice farms — cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon — and pairs naturally with a mainland safari as a beach finish.
