As your travel agent, I recommend preparing for your trip with a mix of practical guides and inspiring reads:

Travel Guides:

- “Lonely Planet Tanzania” – Excellent for overall Tanzania information, including Zanzibar, culture, safety tips, and suggested itineraries.

- “Bradt Guide: Zanzibar” by Chris McIntyre – Very detailed on Zanzibar itself, from beaches and snorkelling spots to history and local customs.

- “Rough Guide to Tanzania” – Good for background on the country, national parks (if you consider extending your trip), and how Zanzibar fits into the region.

Cultural & Historical Reading:

- “Zanzibar: A Cultural History” by Abdul Sheriff – A clear and accessible overview of Zanzibar’s rich Swahili, Arab, and colonial heritage.

- “The Last Slave Market: Dr. John Kirk and the Struggle to End the East African Slave Trade” by Alastair Hazell – Provides context for Stone Town’s history and key sites you might visit.

- Short stories and poetry from Swahili authors (look for anthologies of Swahili literature in translation) to get a feel for local perspectives.

Practical Tips:

- Consider a small Swahili phrasebook or an app (e.g., “Learn Swahili” or “Simply Learn Swahili”) to help with greetings and basic expressions.

- A compact wildlife and marine guide for East Africa or the Indian Ocean (fish and coral identification) can enrich your snorkelling or diving experiences.

With these resources, you’ll arrive in Zanzibar not only ready to relax at Azao Resort & Spa, but also with a deeper understanding of local culture, history, and nature.
