Information on Dar - es - salaam and Zanzibar Island
ZANZIBAR
The very name Zanzibar conjures up exotic and romantic images. A paradise where spices, rice and coconuts grow, and where the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean wash up on the shores of virgin white sandy beaches. Zanzibar's ancient stone town, with its cobbled streets, narrow alleys and bustling bazaars is steeped with history, full of atmosphere and immensely attractive. Zanzibar is believed to have begun life in the 8th century when the Arab traders arrived on the island. By the 17th century, Zanzibar had developed into a prosperous town and was considered to be so important a trading post, that the ruling Sultan of Oman moved his capital from Muscat to Zanzibar. Zanzibar gained independence in 1963, and in 1964 Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form Tanzania. Zanzibar can be accessed by regular ferry services from Dar es Salaam, or by air with several daily flights from Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. All our packages to Zanzibar are by air or ferry service.
DAR ES SALAAM
The Tanzanian capital Dar es Salaam means “Haven of Peace” and was given its name in 1866 by the Sultan of Zanzibar who founded the city around that time. The city grew steadily through the Arab, German and finally British rule until Tanganyika's independence in 1961. Today’s Dar es Salaam is a cosmopolitan and bustling city, with modern facilities.
Dar es Salaam International Airport connects to the main towns in Tanzania, regional hubs and major cities worldwide.
