Solo Travel in Zanzibar
Zanzibar is a wonderful and intriguing place filled with incredible history. If you are a nature lover, you will also delight in Zanzibar’s coral reefs and forests. Traveling alone, particularly to Zanzibar, might seem like a daunting endeavor, but I found it to be quite freeing and I got to spend some quality time writing, thinking, diving and exploring.
