We were greeted with a smile and “Karibu sana” (most welcome) by our driver at the Zanzibar airport, located just off the eastern coastline of Tanzania. One can reach Zanzibar by a less-than-half-hour flight or go by a convenient modern hovercraft ferry.

This rehabilitation project spearheaded by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, which has restored a variety of sites that preserve Zanzibar’s rich history and culture.
