Top 5 things to do in Zanzibar

  Last November we took a dream vacation to ZANZIBAR ISLAND off the coast of Tanzania in the Indian Ocean.  In an ode to this being a blog full of memories from our time in East Africa and a way to share what life is like, here is my list of favorite things to do or see while on Zanzibar Island!   Picking where to stay took us quite a while but after seeing multiple places, you really can’t go wrong because the ocean is beautiful on every inch of that island! I used Booking.com to book the three places we stayed.  We decided to stay in MATEMWE, then JAMBIANI and then the last night in STONE TOWN.     This island is definitely a once in a lifetime place to visit.
