#5 ZANZIBAR | How is the happines measured in Zanzibar

In Zanzibar, traditions are as colorful as the local markets! It’s like entering a cultural carnival where Swahili, Arabic and European influences merge into a vibrant mix. Think of music that makes your hips sway like palm leaves in the wind and dancing that makes you move as if you were standing on hot coals (but much more fun). And let’s not even talk about the food – you would think the chefs there would do magic with spices! When it comes to hospitality, well, let’s just say they have a Master’s degree in ‘How to Turn a Visit into a Celebration’. The only problem? Just try and get away – Zanzibari traditions have a kind of magical appeal that even Harry Potter would envy!

Happy people in Zanzibar often experience a deep connection with the nature, culture and community around them. Time seems to pass more slowly, with people having more space to enjoy simple moments such as sunsets on the beach, colorful markets and traditional dances. The island’s laid-back atmosphere encourages a life that’s about nurturing relationships, sharing stories and enjoying the beauty of the moment, without the constant pressure of time.
