Zanzibar
Unguja, the main island of the Zanzibar archipelago, off the Tanzanian coast. Its old Swahili trading town, Stone Town, is a World Heritage Site, and the forest and mangroves at Jozani protect the Zanzibar red colobus.
Zanzibar is the name most visitors use for Unguja, the largest island in the archipelago. Pemba, the second main island, lies to the north.
Stone Town, on the west coast, grew as a Swahili trading port shaped by Arab, Indian and European influences, and was one of the main slave-trading ports of East Africa. Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park, the island's only national park, protects mangroves and forest and the endemic Zanzibar red colobus.
