.welcome to zanzibar, where adventure awaits and
history lives on
Zanzibar, the jewel of the Indian Ocean, is a temptation for adventurers and culture lovers alike. The islands of Unguja and Pemba and their smaller siblings rise majestically from the deep blue waters and entice visitors with unspoilt beaches, turquoise seas and a fascinating cultural history.
​
Stone Town, the heart of Zanzibar City and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a labyrinth of ancient walls, mysterious alleyways and colourful markets. But the beauty of Zanzibar extends far beyond Stone Town, with spice gardens that tantalise the senses and dive sites that reveal another world beneath the surface.
​
The cultural diversity of the islands is reflected in the music, art, architecture and cuisine and tells of a rich past of Arab, Indian and African influences. In Zanzibar, the adventure is not only a journey through breathtaking landscapes, but also a journey through the depths of history and culture.
.the zanzibaris
Zanzibar shines in a kaleidoscopic splendour of cultural diversity. The original inhabitants of the island, the Bantu peoples Hadimu and Tumbatu, originated from the majestic African Great Lakes. Through their presence, they helped to shape the multi-faceted identity of this region. The deep-rooted ties with the Indian, Persian and Arab worlds are clearly reflected in the heterogeneous composition of the population, which makes Zanzibar a melting pot of cultures and traditions.
.language and religion
Numerous languages are spoken on Zanzibar, including Swahili, English, Arabic and Hindi. Islam is the predominant religion on the island, characterised by strong influences from Arabic culture. Mosques and Islamic schools characterise the picturesque cityscape, while there is also a Christian and Hindu minority. This impressive cultural diversity and tolerance is expressed not only in the language, but also in the religious landscape of the island.
.culture in zanzibar
The population of Zanzibar combines Bantu peoples with people from the Indian, Persian and Arab worlds, reflecting the island's rich cultural diversity.

The architecture combines influences from different regions, making Zanzibar a true melting pot of cultures.
