Zanzibar (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798823021968)

This book is a photographic journey of exotic Zanzibar. The island of Zanzibar lies off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean. It is surrounded by coral reeds alive with colorful marine life. Pink flamingos cluster on the coastal shores. Since ancient times, the people of Zanzibar engaged in trade with mariners who found their way to this island paradise. They arrived from places as far away as Arabia, Egypt and India. An emblem of Zanzibar is the elegant "Dhow", a graceful ship which originated over 2000 years ago. Wildlife here includes crocodile, seals, pelicans and storks. Humpback whales and dolphin swim offshore. The rare "red colobus monkey" in Zanzibar is found nowhere else in the world. In the forest, these are leopards, the rare "blue monkey," lemurs and small miniature deer. Key destinations are historic Stone Town and Jambiani, as well as the other coastal towns.
