IF YOU LOVE ZANZIBAR, TANZANIA

A walking tour of Stone Town, the old part of Zanzibar City, meanders past boutiques, fragrant spice and pungent meat markets, in and out of a glorious mishmash of Arab, Indian, European and East African architecture. More harrowing, visit the former slave market, where people were held in tiny cells before being shipped out.

An 11-night safari and beach holiday, starting at the Azura Selous Game Reserve and ending g at the Fundu Lagoon costs from £4,395pp (turquoiseholidays.co.uk). .
