Where Paradise Meets Culture

Welcome to Zanzibar, the jewel of the Indian Ocean and one of the most enchanting destinations in East Africa. At Rafiki Tours, we invite you to experience the magic of this island paradise—where pristine white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and rich Swahili culture blend into an unforgettable escape.

🌴 About Zanzibar

Zanzibar is an archipelago located about 25–50 km off the coast of mainland Tanzania. The main island, Unguja, is often referred to as Zanzibar itself and is home to the historical city of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its sister island, Pemba, is less developed and offers untouched beauty for off-the-beaten-path explorers.

This idyllic destination is famous for:

• Warm tropical climate all year round

• Exotic spices and fresh seafood

• Rich history of Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influence

• World-class diving and snorkeling spots
