The Place That Gave Us Freddie Mercury

A jewel on the Indian Ocean that smells like cinnamon and vanilla … It is believed that Zanzibar’s first inhabitants were people from the Bantu tribe, so the island got its name because “Zanzibar” literally translates to “the land of the black people.”

Zanzibar is the largest candy producer in the world, and when there, you can pick your own coffee. You can also find huge plantations of mangos, oranges, grapefruits, bananas and pineapples all over the island. 

The island offers miles of long beaches with the finest white sand with coconut palm trees, where only the waves of the ocean break the silence.

The only city that exists on this island is Stone Town. This city has changed very little over the last 200 years and is the cultural center of Zanzibar. Its countless interwoven narrow streets, lively markets, countless mosques and large Arab houses with luxurious wooden doors, just make the first impression of this city unreal.  UNESCO even protected it as one of the hundred most important cities in the world.  

Visiting Zanzibar might be one of the best things you do in your life, not to mention you’ll have a new claim to fame as having visited the place Freddie Mercury was born.
