Check out these Zanzibar photos!

Think Zanzibar and you conjure up images of sun-kissed beaches nestled against bath-warm waters, right? Well, take a look at these superb photos by the brilliant Italian photographer Paolo Evangelista. They’re of the island’s capital Stone Town, and reveal the place to be so much more than just postcard-perfect tropical paradise. A glance at these and you might guess you were looking at snaps of Havana or Salvador in Brazil perhaps.

Take a look at our 11-day Safari & Spice trip, which takes in the best of Zanzibar as well as safari in the Serengeti.
