Zanzibar is an island, well known for its many animal species, located around 30 kilometers from Tanzania’s mainland. In the past, it fell under control of the Sultanate of Oman. Zanzibar is associated with miles of white sandy palm fringed beaches and crystal clear water, home to a pristine and tropical marine and sea life. On another part of Tanzania’s ocean front, lies Saadani National Park. This is a place where green savanna grass lands meet the beach.
