    1. Festivals \u2013 From the cultural staple that is the music festival of Sauti za Busara to the other mainstay \u2013 the Zanzibar International Film Festival, this country has many festivals to visit and enjoy. Apart from these two, of special note is the beach and watersports festival that takes place there too.

Visit these spaces and see what it\u2019s like to be at the forefront of movie magic and cultural music heritage.\n

    2. \nStone Town and Spices \u2013 The oldest neighborhood in Zanzibar is the historic location of Stone Town. It is famous for its spices and its palaces, its bathhouses and its winding labyrinthine streets. The Town is also home to a church that dates back to the 19<\/span>th<\/span> century. While here, do check out the House of Wonders and the 17<\/span>th<\/span> century Old Fort. If you\u2019re a Queen fan, you\u2019ll be delighted to know that the first house of Freddie Mercury is here. Immerse yourself in the aroma of the spices and enjoy your time here.\n

    3. Jozani Forest \u2013 Get to the Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park and get to the forest. This is home to the Zanzibar red colobus monkey as well as 40 species of birds and 50 types of butterflies. Jozani is a safe haven for some endangered animals as well like the servaline genet and the Aders\u2019 duiker. Walk along the nature trail and take in the beautiful greenery of this clean, pure space.\n

      <\/p><\/span><\/li>\n

    4. Prison Island \u2013 Changuu Island or Prison Island is not as scary as it sounds. In fact, it has pristine waters and a gorgeous beach. While here, visit the Aldabra Giant Tortoise sanctuary and gaze upon an almost 2 century old tortoise! In the past, the island served as a quarantine space for yellow fever. \u00a0Snorkeling is a huge pastime here and there are various spots to do this.\n

      <\/p><\/span><\/li>\n

    5. Cheetah\u2019s Rock \u2013 This is a must visit place to learn of the many conservation efforts of one individual-Jenny \u2013 and the difference it makes in the animal\u2019s lives. \u00a0From Chaka the zebra to Tyson the cheetah, Aslan the baby white lion, and King Kong the monkey, you will leave with utmost respect for the passion that\u2019s behind all this effort. Visit here and be changed forever.\n
