HOLIDAY SPECIALIST AND SAFARI EXPERT

Paradise & Wilderness is an expert in safaris in Tanzania and a specialist in holidays in Zanzibar, owned by the Dutchman Bert Schoonvelde. Years ago, he came to Zanzibar for a holiday and felt in love with this magnificent place.

Bert: “My holidays in Tanzania were too short to get to know this magical country, so I stayed here and made my dream my job!

Now, I am lucky enough to have four Beach Resorts and two Boutique Hotels on Zanzibar, a Safari Lodge in the Selous Game Reserve and several more Safari Lodges located near or in world’s most famous national parks: Serengeti, Lake Natron, Arusha, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara.

This combination of culture, incredible white sand beaches and the largest wildlife sanctuaries in Africa makes Tanzania unique.

ZANZIBAR, JEWEL OF THE INDIAN OCEANZanzibar, located on the east coast of Africa, is considered one of the jewels of the Indian Ocean.

Nature and history go hand in hand on this island. Visit the historic Stone Town, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, or enjoy the sun on one of the island’s paradisiacal beaches. Discover the local wildlife (red Colobus monkey, for example) or use the island as a base for Safaris. Whatever you choose, Zanzibar is the ideal place for your holidays.

Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous state within Tanzania and consists of three main islands: Unguja (or Zanzibar), Pemba and Mafia Island.

THE HISTORY OF ZANZIBARThe island of Zanzibar was attractive to many civilizations, all in search of new markets, adventures and new areas to explore.

The Persians traded with the Bantu tribe, developing the Swahili language and culture. Zanzibar was a powerful commercial centre, especially thanks to the spice trade.

Towards the end of the 19th century Zanzibar became a British protectorate from which it became independent in 1968. One year later, however, Zanzibar became part of the Republic of Tanzania together with Tanganyika.
