Zanzibar South & Central

Among Tanzania’s regions, Zanzibar South & Central stands out for its blend of Indian Ocean shores, spice-growing countryside and protected forest on Unguja Island. The region includes Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park, where mangrove habitats meet the shallow waters of Chwaka Bay and the Zanzibar red colobus is found. Inland, small settlements and cultivated plots reflect the island’s long association with clove production and Swahili coastal life. Southern beaches and fishing communities face the wider Indian Ocean, while the interior remains markedly quieter than Zanzibar City.
