Zanzibar: The Bradt Travel Guide was first published in 1983, becoming the first travel guide to concentrate exclusively on Zanzibar and Pemba. This fifth edition updates every aspect of travel on the island, from getting to Zanzibar and island transport links to sourcing hotels and creating individual itineraries from the selection of landmarks, markets, and activities detailed in the guide. Fascinating background on the history and culture of the islands--including festivals, arts and crafts, a thorough section on land and marine wildlife, and a guide to the architectural treasures of Stone Town--will help travelers discover many aspects of Zanzibar. Additionally, essential information on health, watersports, and the Swahali language makes this the complete guide.
