Insider tips

Sansibar Geheimtipps: Jozani, Kizimkazi, Prison Island und Pemba

Die besten Geheimtipps auf Sansibar sind der Jozani-Wald mit Roten Stummelaffen, Prison Island mit Riesenschildkröten, das Dorf Kizimkazi mit Delfinen und die grüne Insel Pemba mit Nelkenplantagen. Gewürzfarmen im Inselinneren und das Mnemba-Atoll zum Schnorcheln runden jeden Ausflug gut ab.
