Zanzibar – just the name says that here awaits exotic times and sensual experiences! Sir Richard Branson has described Zanzibar as “a beach with coconut white sand and cobalt blue water” and yes, it is great! When you sit leaning against a palm tree and looking up at the clear African night sky, you feel very far away from everything. But Zanzibar is not just paradise beaches and day trips. The capital Stone Town offers lots of history and culture, it is like time has stopped in some places going back almost 200 years. Here you find narrow alleys, bazaars and commercial life, mosques and beautiful, historic houses and mansions, where the original owners spent fortunes on making his house the most impressive in the neighbourhood. Feel free to get a little lost here – it can lead you to exciting surprises once you turn a new street corner…
This program is a source of inspiration — each trip is unique and tailored to you.

Bwejuu Clinic
Baraza engages in many great projects. An example is the clinic for pregnant women in the city of Bwejuu, where the most often relatively young women are helped well through pregnancy and the time after birth. The clinic opened in 2014 with, among other things, support from the organization New Hope. The hotel is happy to encourage and facilitate contact with other, similar projects.
