Stone Town is the perfect start to your Zanzibar Island adventure. As the birthplace of Freddie Mercury, this cultural melting pot may be a tiny town but it sure does pack a big punch. An experience that truly felt like taking a magic carpet ride, this dazzling place took us to a Whole New World (how many Aladdin references do you think I can squeeze in here?) After waking up feeling like Princess Jasmin at the Forodhani Park Hotel, take a stroll over to Zanzibar Coffee House to admire the architecture and indulge in delicious sweets and savory treats before heading into the Darajani Market. Next, make your way over to lunch at the Rooftop Tea House, Emerson on Hurumzi Hotel for unbelievable sights and indescribable feelings (omg sorry you guys!). With no one to tell you no, or where to go, I think it may be time to shop for some shining, shimmering splendid souvenirs (THAT WAS THE LAST ONE I SWEAR). Finally make your way to Africa House Hotel for a sundowner to remember before dinner at the Forodhani Gardens. Cap it all off out on the balcony of the Taperia where you can enjoy a couple cold Kilis while desperately trying to get Jambo Jambo out of your head. 

And if that Sugar Cane Drink Didn’t Quite Hit the Spot…
