What better place to celebrate your honeymoon or even wedding anniversary than the enchanting Zanzibar archipelago – fondly referred to as the “Spice Islands”. Zanzibar’s colorful history is an epic saga of travelers and traders, raiders, and colonizers. To its shores came Sumerians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Indians, Chinese, Malays, Persians, Portuguese, Arabs, Dutch, and the British, each leaving behind a legacy of their stay. Bantu tribes from the mainland were the first inhabitants of the island, but by 700 AD the Indian Ocean trade winds had brought the first visitors from across the seas.
