Zanzibar
Exotic luxury escapes that won ’ t break the travel bank
BY : DANIELLA SCHOEMAN
Located just off the coast of mainland Tanzania is an archipelago of islands known as Zanzibar or Spice Island . This exotic destination offers everything you ' d expect from a tropical island getaway but at a fraction of the cost of similar destinations such as Mauritius , Seychelles , or the Maldives .
Travelers feel at home from the moment they arrive and receive those friendly Swahili greetings of " Jambo ", “ Karibu ”, and " Hakuna Matata ".
Translation : “ Hello , you ’ re welcome here and there are no worries .”
Although a visit to Zanzibar is affordable , you ' ll still find an abundance of luxury resorts , hotels , and lodges dotted across the island . Travelers can enjoy the warm weather , a calm turquoise ocean , adventurous water sport activities , health and wellness experiences , and a unique cultural landscape in total comfort and luxury .
We recently took a journey across the entire island to get acquainted with the different regions – each special in its own way – while staying at 5 unmissable luxury escapes .
