Zanzibar

Thought i should put up some pictures of my all time favorite places, with all its beautiful scenery. I was just amazed, Zanzibar. Its a must-go to island   

Zanzibar is an archipelago made up of Zanzibar and Pemba Islands, and several islets. It is located in the Indian Ocean, about 25 miles from the Tanzanian coast, and 6° south of the equator. Zanzibar Island is 60 miles long and 20 miles wide, occupying a total area of approximately 650 square miles. It is characterized by beautiful sandy beaches amazing turquoise water and coral reefs. Stone Town is the capital of Zanzibar it is named after coral stone buildings built largely in the 19th century. It is located on the west coast and has a population of 18,000 people and a good number of old  buildings. The streets are tall and narrow and confusing it always leads to a different street or to the sea.

One of the most beautiful sunsets you can experience in Zanzibar. Nungwi


Beach cottages at Nungwi beach, north of Zanzibar all made of natural resources.
                               
Nungwi is famous for it’s buzzing nightlife and very laid back vibe. This northernmost tip of Zanzibar is the heart of the island’s budget tourism industry and teaming with student back-packers and aging hippies . The actual village of Nungwi is still a traditional fishing village and is the center of Zanzibar’s dhow-building industry. It’s at night time the beaches are alive with bonfires, drumming sessions, crowds of party and music from the bars
