African Art from Spain...

The internationally renowned artist Miguel Costal is coming to Zamani Zanzibar Kempinski, already for the second time! And, of course, the hotel is proud to present this recognized Spanish painter and sculptor with selected masterpieces. Costales has been showcasing his artwork already since December 18, 2008 and his exhibition will still go on until January 08, 2009.

Born in Bilbao in 1954, Costales spent many years in Tanzania, where he gathered a lot of inspiration for his work - which is hardly to overlook.

General Zanzibar tip

Zanzibar is a great destination after a safari! To truly relax and appreciate the exotic atmosphere the Island has to offer. Spend at least three or four days so that you can visit the hypnotic Stone Town and the idyllic beaches and traditional coastal villages.

Thinking about Zanzibar, my fondest memories will be lazing on the beach, looking out on the turquoise Indian Ocean, watching the women harvesting seaweeds and the children with their smiling faces playing football or just running along the beach. Another image that pops into my head is the sight of an elegant dhow, gracefully gliding through the sea - probably one of the most widely-recognized icons of Arab culture.
