Island escapes Travellers are searching for out-of-this-world island getaways to soak up the sea, sand and sun. Here are a few island destinations on our radar, writes Clinton Moodley
Zanzibar The island of Zanzibar in Tanzania is the ultimate destination for those looking to kick back and marvel at the sea. Zanzibar, often dubbed “Spice Island”, is the perfect mix of culture, history and white-sand beaches. Travellers typically stay at luxury all-inclusive resorts, but there are also budget-
friendly options. Spend a few hours in Stone Town, Nungwi Beach or take a spice tour. Depending on your location, you can enjoy ocean experiences such as diving, marine safaris, dhow cruises, game fishing or catamaran charters. Zanzibar’s food scene features dishes with loads of spice including Zanzibar pizza, biryani and urojo soup.
