Zanzibar evokes images of turquoise waters fringed by endless beaches, and it certainly lives up to its billing as a tropical idyll. Enjoy a sunset dhow cruise to a remote sandbar, dine on Swahili cuisine with your feet in the sand or explore the worldclass dive sites of neighbouring islands, Pemba and Mafia. Away from the coast, watch giant coconut crabs on Chumbe Island, forage for cloves and cinnamon on a spice tour or glimpse the fading world of the sultans at the ruins of Mtoni Palace. Fully updated for this ninth edition by expert authors Chris and Susie McIntyre, Bradt's Zanzibar offers indispensable practical advice. With hundreds of comprehensive hotel and restaurant reviews, it's the ultimate guide to this Indian Ocean archipelago.

Zanzibar - Pemba - Mafia

For the UK.
This new tenth edition of Bradt's Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia remains the most in-depth guide available to these exotic and alluring islands. Thoroughly updated following extensive on-the-ground research, accommodation listings are near comprehensive, with over 300 properties spanning all budget levels featured, many newly built and the vast majority not featured in other guides. Bradt's Zanzibar also offers for more detailed coverage of the islands' cultural, historic and environmental status than other guides, and the authors make a point of featuring more ethically- minded hotels, tour operators and activities, from fair- trade shopping opportunities to marine awareness guidelines. All maps have been accurately updated with every property, major attraction, eatery and road recorded using GPS. No other guidebook provides this level of guidance.
Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia have become increasingly accessible dream destinations. All offer some wonderful beach resorts catering to most styles and budgets, but they also offer superb diving and snorkelling, while Swahili-related cultural highlights range from the history-steeped alleys of Zanzibar Stone Town to a scattering of evocative ruins spanning several centuries, and the more low-key fishing villages that line the coast.
Bradt's Zanzibar is the most frequently updated book on the islands: the authors are personally known in the region for their face-to-face research methods and this is the book of choice for hoteliers and expatriate workers/residents on Zanzibar. The guide also includes a dedicated section on southern Tanzanian safaris in the Selous/Nyerere and Ruaha National Parks, making this the ideal choice for a bush and beach combination.
