If you want to spend your winter holidays in the heat and the sea, Zanzibar is the ideal solution
Zanzibar known as "the Land of Colors" is increasingly one of the most popular destinations for winter holidays. The climate on the African island is mild all year round, but the best time to visit it is between December and March. The African island can be an ideal destination for Christmas and New Year next. The Zanzibar archipelago is located in the Indian Ocean and is made up of two main islands: Unguja and Pemba.
The local population once lived mainly from fishing, today they continue to work thanks to the sea, but above all for the tourism from which it derives.
Deserted white sand beaches with crystal clear sea surrounded by lush vegetation: the tropical paradise that everyone imagines.
Not only fishing and tourism comes from the sea, here in Zanzibar there is a very particular trade linked to the drying of seaweed. The beach, today as in the past, has the role that streets and village streets have in Italy: they are places of aggregation for the local population. Together with the villages they are the social centers of exchange and commerce. The air is full of fragrances: the spices, they enrich the dishes and the surrounding environment.
The capital of the Zanzibar archipelago is Zanzibar City. Its historic center is called "Stone Town" and has been proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Here you can learn about the history of the country and better understand what slavery meant for Africans.
