Zanzibar (Tanzania)

It's only 2.5 h by boat from Dar es Saalam to Zanzibar but the change is immense. From high risers to narrow roads, from Christianity to Islam, from busy streets to wonderful beaches and and and. Zanzibar is amazing for many reasons. Be it the beaches, the house where Freddy Mercury was born, the delicious seafood or the spice plantations where you can see how the spice plants look like (very different to one would expect). The only downside of the island are the "papsi" (touts) which are very annoying.
