Karibu Issue 09 (April - July 2011)

From trade to tourism

Karibu, or welcome to Zanzibar - the enigmatic Indian Ocean islands, shaped over a millennia by the movement of peoples from the African interior, Asia and Arab world, who were moved by the monsoon winds and a love of trade. Zanzibar and its unique blend of cultures has since moved on, and it is with this magazine that we hope to promote a new and growing trade and industry - tourism - across the archipelago.

Welcome to the Spice Islands! Zanzibar is drying out after the not-so-long rainy season and anticipating the start of another peak tourist season. The Zanzibar Film Festival is still calling for entries for ZIFF 2009, as this year promises to be another great showcase of talent and storytelling from over the Swahili Coast, Africa and Europe.

Karibu Issue 04 (October - December 2008)

Last quarter, the festival season climaxed with the vibrancy of ZIFF and the dynamic Mwaka Kogwa simultaneously. With such colour and spectacle, the energy of these two unique and powerful celebrations once again made Zanzibar the place to be on the East African coast. The attraction continues as Zanzibar's culture and people consistently draw visitors from every corner of the globe, proving its popularity as one of the most exotic tourist destinations in the world.

Karibu Issue 03 (April - June 2008)

The tourism industry in Zanzibar has seen massive growth over the last decade, which has brought some substantial benefits to the isles. At the same time, as the disquiet mounts about climate change, the industry has an obligation to join the global movement towards actively sustainable practices if this prosperity is to last. The Responsible Travel Awards are setting a benchmark in this regard for the tourism industry globally.

Welcome to the new edition of the Karibu Zanzibar magazine. Through our collaboration with ZG Design, we have created an informative and insightful publication that will serve as a forum for the promotion of responsible and sustainable tourism across the archipelago.

The aim of this magazine is to market the Zanzibar archipelago as a first class tourist destination. A place committed to the development of a tourist industry that works hand in hand with the community to conserve the environment and cultural heritage.

Karibu Issue 01 (October - December 2007)

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the re-launching of the Karibu Zanzibar magazine.

Karibu in Kiswahili language means Welcome and it is befitting that this magazine welcomes and introduces visitors to Zanzibar.

I am please to join the magazine to welcome you to Zanzibar, a tourist destination where you can enjoy unique attractions. Our country, for centuries, has received visitors across the oceans. They have mixed with the indigenous people to create a truly cosmopolitan society with distinct mixture of culture - African, Oriental and Occidental.
