Zanzibar Photo Gallery
Join me on a visual journey through the amazing tropical island of Zanzibar, East Africa.
Zanzibar
The island of Zanzibar is a semi autonomous province of Tanzania on Africa's East Coast. The name "Tanzania", which came into being in the early 1960's, is a combination of the original colonial name Tanganyika, Zanzibar and Azania (the ancient Greek and Roman name for the East coast of Africa). And yes, Zanzibar really does deserve it's own gallery page!
