Breath-taking paradise.

Known for its white sand beaches and bright blue waters, Zanzibar is a breath-taking paradise holiday. In Zanzibar you manage to relax and be excited almost everywhere you go.  One of the best things to do in Zanzibar is to swim in the clear waters, but there is also much more.

Zanzibar, a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania, is the largest island of the Zanzibar Archipelago, which consists of several islands.  Here are some fun things to do in Zanzibar.

Acrobats and capoeira

At sunset, on pleasant evenings, you can head to the Stone Town public beach to enjoy the last light of the day watching acrobatics and capoeira performed by the locals. Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. It’s pretty fun to watch from any of the nearby restaurants or on the beach.

It’s a reminder of what has become of our environment over the centuries. On the nature trails through the beautiful forests, it’s easy to find the red monkeys because they are not shy.
