The main island of Zanzibar (known as Ungunja) and the surrounding islands and atolls of the archipelago are enchanting for their unspoiled tropical beauty, unique cultural richness, and culinary delights. The glorious abundance of unique sea life in the perpetually warm, turquoise Indian Ocean make this destination a diver\u2019s paradise as well. Zanzibar is a romantic oasis full of mystique. Historically, it has been a center of commerce, international diplomacy, a beacon of learning, and a vestibule into Africa for the rest of the world, an island where merchants, traders, missionaries, and explorers dealing in spices and ivory, princes and slaves have visited over the past several centuries. Today, the history of Zanzibar is vibrantly alive in the form of traditional sailing vessels (dhows), carved wooden doors, the narrow, maze-like alleyways between coral stone houses, the scent of lemongrass and cloves, and the smile of the hospitable Zanzibari Swahili people who welcome you to the \u201cSpice Island\u201d. Romance abounds here, as well, in the miles of white sand beaches, stunning accommodations, and sensory pleasures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element

At present, you will find primates such as the indigenous red colobus monkey, the blue Sykes monkey, and the adorable bush baby. The red colobus monkey is one of the most endangered and rarest species in the world. They are very friendly creatures, love to be photographed, and can be viewed at close quarters with the help of your guide. You are also likely to see some of the 50 butterfly species, 40 bird species, and several species of snake. Other interesting features of this ecosystem include the coastal evergreen bush land, mangrove forest, saline grassland, and ground water forest. As a reserve area, the forest also contains nurseries which help to preserve the tree species in the forest.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"ha-accordion__item\">\n                    <div id=\"ha-accordion__item-title-1105\" class=\"ha-accordion__item-title\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"ha-accordion__item-content-1105\">\n                                                    <span class=\"ha-accordion__item-icon ha-accordion__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                                                    <span class=\"ha-accordion__icon--closed\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n                                                                                                    <span class=\"ha-accordion__icon--opened\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n                                                            <\/span>\n                                                <div class=\"ha-accordion__item-title-inner\">\n                                                        <span class=\"ha-accordion__item-title-text\">Tour To The North (NUNGWI)<\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div id=\"ha-accordion__item-content-1105\" class=\"ha-accordion__item-content\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"ha-accordion__item-title-1105\">\n                        <p>A 40 minute drive from Zanzibar town, this trip leads you through the Mangapwani cave, a historically significant remnant of the Arabian slave trade. Although the Zanzibar slave market was officially closed in June of 1873, the cave was used through 1911 as a secret hideout from which African captives were illegally led out to sea through a secret passage and then transported by dhow to the Arabian peninsula for sale. The tour proceeds to Nungwi in the north of Zanzibar, an hour\u2019s drive from the cave. Nungwi has crystal clear waters, an excellent place for diving, snorkeling, swimming, and sunbathing. As Zanzibar is a turtle conservation area, you will be able to see the natural turtle aquarium here. During this tour we also take you to a site where local villagers build dhows and boats using traditional tools and methods.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"ha-accordion__item\">\n                    <div id=\"ha-accordion__item-title-1106\" class=\"ha-accordion__item-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"ha-accordion__item-content-1106\">\n                                                    <span class=\"ha-accordion__item-icon ha-accordion__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                                                    <span class=\"ha-accordion__icon--closed\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n                                                                                                    <span class=\"ha-accordion__icon--opened\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n                                                            <\/span>\n                                                <div class=\"ha-accordion__item-title-inner\">\n                                                        <span class=\"ha-accordion__item-title-text\">Mnemba Atoll Marine Park<\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div id=\"ha-accordion__item-content-1106\" class=\"ha-accordion__item-content\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"ha-accordion__item-title-1106\">\n                        <p>Mnemba Atoll is perhaps the most famous conservation area most coveted diving spots in Zanzibar.
