It's not to early to plan a warm-weather escape for January or February, in fact, that's peak season in many destinations in Africa and the small hotels and beach lodges that we prefer fill fast.

With a history full of conquerors, slavers, and spice traders, Zanzibar is a place to get a taste of the exotic. The island, known as Zanzibar, is actually named Unguja, and the greater archipelago is really called Zanzibar. On the island, Stone Town's narrow, winding streets and fabled doors and are sure to hold your interest. On a spice tour, you'll see how cloves and other spices are grown. And, the island's white-sand beaches and crystal-clear ocean provide the perfect opportunity to swim, scuba dive, snorkel and relax. Read more about lodging options and activities here.

One of our favorite Zanzibar escapes is to the comfortable and welcoming Matemwe Lodge and Matemwe Retreat at the Northern tip of the island. Not only is Matemwe the perfect place to unwind after a safari, but it's an ideal location for snorkeling and diving thanks to its close proximity to the Mnemba Atoll.
