Zanzibar has a long and interesting history. Over the years it has fallen under many different rulers, but was always an important trading post. In recent times Zanzibar has become a popular tourist destination and for obvious reasons. The unspoilt Indian Ocean beaches are largely uncrowded, the sea is warm and inviting and the locals are welcoming.
