Pictures from Zanzibar
Zanzibar. The Spice Island of East Africa, and the centre of gravity of the Swahili culture. Did I mention splendid beaches, fresh seafood and an exciting traditional cuisine too?
My first trip to this lovely island was in 2002, with a backpack and my good friends and flatmates from Nairobi. Since then, Zanzibar has become one of my regular destinations!
