Zanzibar
Nightlife info
The nightlife of Zanzibar is not as pulsating as on other touristy islands but there are spots in Stone Town and on the northern tip in Nungwi, where one can enjoy a night out. Of course there are many restaurants in Stonetown and also the one or the other resort has it's own entertainment.
Culture and history info
Zanzibar - it sounds like a story of 1001 nights. The place of Palaces, Sultans and Princesses. The island has seen different rulers and the culture can be described as a mix of East Africa and the Middle East. Also known as the spice island, traders from far came frequently to this
gem in the the Indian Ocean. Stonetown with it's narrow streets let you indulge in another world. Singing and playing music is a big part of the culture of the Zanzibarians. There is also an anual Music Festival which is well worth a visit.
There are museums in the old part of Zanzibar town which give you an insight of the history. Also the dark history of the slave trade is a part of it. There are ruins of palaces which can be explored and the historical buildings in Stone Town are partly restored to it's old glory.
