It’s on the southern coast of Zanzibar’s main island, Unguja, that you find those long, white, palm-fringed beaches you dreamed of during your hot, dusty mainland safari. The shallow turquoise waters within the fringing reef are warm and safe; there are lots of fishing villages where life continues at a slow, simple, African pace; and it’s laid-back, palm-filled beach resorts provide a stunning setting and delicious seafood.
