If you are planning a trip to Africa, why not stop in for a few days to the islands of Zanzibar? When we flew here on Qatar Airways, half of the passengers stayed on board the airplane and flew onto Kilimanjaro, whilst the other half disembarked with us for time on this island paradise. Some […]
Lavish luxury awaits us as we make our way toward the Essque Zalu Zanzibar Resort located on the most northern point of the island of Unguja – also known as Zanzibar. As we drive towards the Indian Ocean, the giant ‘Matuki’ palm tree roofing of the Essque Zalu Zanzibar Resort and Spa Grand Hall blocks the sky. […]
If you head to the very northern tip of Zanzibar to a coastal town of Nungwi (also known as Nungwe) you will find an area that is completely different than the rest of the island.
