Off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean sits an archipelago known as Zanzibar. It all started ten million years ago when the island of Pemba separated from mainland Africa and then ten thousand years ago, the island of Unguja followed suit. Thus, begins the legend of Zanzibar. For centuries, Zanzibar has been the haven and gateway for explorers including Richard Burton and David Livingstone to penetrate the unknown African Continent. Forward to present day, and it is still possible to experience the unique wildlife whether that is by scuba diving off the coast of a private island, infinite lagoons, visiting mangroves or endemic wild forests; getting lost and immersing yourself into the historical labyrinthine streets of Stonetown. This cluster of islands is at a crossroads of cultures, featuring Omani architecture, Portuguese and British heritages as well as Swahili rituals. Photographer Aline Coquelle shares an intimate portrait of a community bursting with life. With original photography, a disappearing, indigenous culture is preserved and celebrated. This volume invites the reader to experience the paradise that is Zanzibar.

Flag of the People's Republic of Zanzibar and Pemba from 12 January 1964 to 29 January 1964

from /r/vexillology Top comment: Very beautiful flag. It was the flag of Zanzibar for 17 days, and imo one of the best color combos of recent vexillogical history.

The Pemba flying fox (Pteropus voeltzkowi) is one of the largest species of fruit bat in the world with a wingspan of 5 feet and 3 inches. This bat's only habitat is Pemba, an island off the coast of Tanzania.
