Zanzibar

For travelers who want it all, Zanzibar is the perfect finish to a Tanzania safari — a short flight from the Northern Circuit lands you in a different world entirely. Wander the narrow streets and historic architecture of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, then spend a day on a spice plantation tour learning how the island earned its name as the Spice Island. Out on the water, the Safari Blue dhow trip combines snorkeling, sandbank stops, and a fresh seafood lunch aboard a traditional sailing dhow. Then it's time to slow down on Nungwi's white sand beaches and the warm, turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.
