These authors (who have married each other since the sixth edition) are passionate about detail. While researching this latest edition of their Zanzibar guide, Chris and Susan have personally visited each of the almost 250 properties featured. Zanzibar is experiencing rocketing development; so many of these hotels, lodges and guesthouses have been newly built since the last edition and are not mentioned in any other guide on the market. They've also meticulously redrawn and updated all their maps using GPS coordinates to pinpoint landmarks; again, they are the only Zanzibar guidebook authors to have done so. Just don't ask what they talk about over dinner.
• The most frequently updated guidebook to the islands
• Expanded hotel, lodge and guesthouse listings keep pace with Zanzibar's frenetic development
• Mafia and Pemba islands are also covered in detail
Zanzibar at a Glance
Zanzibar and Pemba have become an increasingly accessible dream destination. Lying on the east coast off Tanzania, in the Indian Ocean, the islands have for centuries been linked with exploration and the spice trade. Nowadays Zanzibar is sought out by adventurous travellers who are attracted by coral seas, marine life and clean beaches, along with the slow pace of life and colourful markets, plus a fascinating and visible history.
