courtyards, squares etc. Outside town there are more ruined palaces, Shirazi
remains, Persian baths, and magnificent palm fringed beaches with warm clear

Situated on the southern point of the island,
Kizimkazi fishing village is home to several schools of bottle-nosed
dolphins and Humpback dolphins, which can often be sighted following a
short boat trip from the village. If you are lucky, you may be able to
swim quite close to the dolphins, which can be a very rewarding
experience. We are doing this trip in the afternoon to avoid the crowds
of tourists in the morning, which in big numbers disturbing the
dolphins. Kizimkazi is also the site of a 12th century mosque, the
earliest evidence of Islam in East Africa, and is thus worth a visit for
both natural and cultural reasons.

Stone Town, Zanzibar
Stone Town old city and cultural heart of Zanzibar, has changed little
in the last 200 years. It is a place of winding alleys, bustling
bazaars, mosques and grand Arab houses whose original owners vied
with each other over the extravagance of their dwellings. This
one-upmanship is particularly reflected in the brass-studded,
carved, wooden doors - there are more than 500 different examples of
this handiwork. You can spend many idle hours and days just
wandering through the fascinating labyrinth of narrow streets and
alleyways.
Zanzibar Weather
Zanzibar experiences ideal holiday weather for most of the year, with
the exception of April and May which are seasonally subject to the
long rains. Short rains can occur in November but are characterised
by short showers.
The heat of summer is often cooled by the wind, with pleasant sea
breezes, particularly on the North and East coasts. Being near to
the equator, the islands are warm all year round, but officially,
summer and winter peak in December and June respectively. Zanzibar
is blessed with an average of 7-8 hours of sunshine daily and year
round average temperatures of between 25 and 28 Centigrade.
From your arrival at Zanzibar Airport, the resort is a meandering 45
minute journey through un-spoilt scenery, passing typical African
villages where the way of life has changed little for hundreds of
years.
At Ocean Paradise Resort Zanzibar, you will be greeted by a blaze of
colour as you sweep down the imposing driveway, saluted by a Masai
warrior as you pass through the entrance gate and be captivated as
you arrive in reception and look out over the resort and the azure
blue sea. Mature coconut palms swinging in the breeze, white sandy
beach, beautiful landscaped gardens, traditional style round chalets
with pitched makuti roof, a stunning waterfall feature and the
largest swimming pool in Zanzibar are just some of the sights that
await you. A big smile and the greeting of "Jambo" will be the first
words you hear, as you begin to feel the warmth that the people of
Zanzibar are famed for.
Ocean Paradise Beach Resort rooms are designed as a traditional
African roundhouse but featuring all the creature comforts you could
need, our rooms and suites are truly unrivalled. Set in 6.5 hectares
of serene and colourful gardens, leading to a white sandy beach and
the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, each room is indeed an
idyllic setting.
Nestled under a pitched makuti roof, each room at Ocean Paradise Beach
Resort is sea facing with large patio doors that open up to a
private balcony, where you can sit and take in the sedate pace of
African life.
A peaceful sleep is guaranteed in a fully air-conditioned room with
