Ivory and slaves - Zanzibar's capital of bygone empires!
Previously the courrt of the Sultan of Oman, Zanzibar's rich and intricate history is in evidence everywhere on the island. Walk around Stone Town for an hour or trhee and you'll see two millennia of histroty unfold before your very eyes. Archtectirally the mix is incredible with buidlings displaying Arabic, Indian, European and African characteristics. Of particular note are the city's 500 or so doors, with their intricate carvings, brass spikes and even verses quoted from Koran. In the picture is one of the streets - business area.
Tanzania never disappoints. How could it, with Africa's greatest game reserve, the unforgettable Serengeti, the seeing - is - believing volcanic crater at Ngorongoro, and Africa's the highest mountain, kilimanjaro. But there is much more to Tanzania than even this.
