Destination story
A place with its own rhythm.
Zanzibar is one of Africa’s most captivating island destinations, steeped in the history of the spice trade. Its legacy has created a unique fusion of African, Arab, Indian and European influences, most visible in the labyrinthine alleys and historic buildings of its UNESCO-listed Stone Town.
For WOFA participants, Zanzibar combines the rhythm of an international festival with the chance to explore a destination of immense cultural depth. From the ornate doorways of Stone Town to the turquoise waters and white-sand beaches, every performance is set against a backdrop of unforgettable island scenery.
