How to Visit Some Interesting Places with Zanzibar Holidays
by Amanda Sutcliffe Travel DealsZanzibar is a charming city on an island called Unguja
and is the capital of Tanzania's Zanzibar region. When you're in this city for
a holiday, you'll get to witness an interesting combination of African, Indian,
and Arabian cultures. You can also witness some historic buildings while
getting around in the city. Its gorgeous beaches are quite idyllic and give you
the chance to unwind on vast stretches of white sands and enjoy some exciting
beachside activities. Zanzibar also houses a UNESCO World Heritage Site called
Stone Town, which was earlier the capital of the Zanzibar Sultanate.
You can get cheap
holidays to Zanzibar if you plan your holiday during any of its two
rainy seasons between March and May or the lesser rainy months of November and
December. These are the times when not many tourists visit the city owing to
the rains that often hamper the plans of spending time outdoors. The best time
to visit is during the period between June and October when the climate is dry
and cool. The hot and dry weather from December to February is also preferred
by many tourists, who book their holidays for this time of the year. If you
wish to try some thrilling outdoor activities, February, March, July, and
August would be the best months.
While enjoying your Zanzibar holidays, you can explore some of its famous attractions.
Among them is Stone Town, where you'll find spectacular alleys and Arabic-style
buildings. When you're in this historic town, you can visit any of the local
cafes and savour a steamy cup of coffee. If you wish to unwind in the midst of
scenic surroundings, the Jozani forest would be an ideal place. It is home to a
swamp forest that has an abundance of trees and ferns. After much sightseeing,
you can spend some relaxed moments on a beach in the Nungwi village located in
Zanzibar city's north-western portion.
During your cheap
holidays to Zanzibar, you'll also get to enjoy some adventurous
activities outdoors. Upon hiring a catamaran from any of the local operators,
you can sail around the city and witness some delightful sights on the way. The
waters between Pemba and Zanzibar islands would be perfect for deep sea
fishing. If you wish to try scuba diving or snorkelling, get into the shallow
waters that touch most of the city's beaches. A jet-skiing tour from Nungwi
would take you to the Kendwa beach, where you can spend some relaxed moments.
The local cuisine of Zanzibar is largely influenced by
the African, Arabic, and Indian cuisines. During your time in this city, you
can relish some of the region's mouth-watering treats. One of them is the
delicious Biryani, which is prepared using rice cooked with a combination of
various spices and mixed with meat or fish curry. You can also pamper your
taste buds with the Octopus Curry widely savoured in the street stalls and
restaurants of the city. This dish can also be eaten while exploring the
beaches in Zanzibar's eastern region.
