Zanzibar Archipelago

The Zanzibar Archipelago (Funguvisiwa la Zanzibar, in Swahili, ) is a group of islands off the coast of Tanzania in the sea of Zanj. The archipelago is also named the Spice Islands. People only live on some of the islands. The biggest islands are Unguja Island and Pemba Island.

Most of the islands are part of Zanzibar, which is an area of Tanzania with some power to control itself. The nearby Mafia Archipelago and the small islands near it are part of the Pwani Region (area) of Zanzibar.


 Unguja Island is the largest island. It is sometimes named Zanzibar. 896,721 people live there.
 Pemba Island is the second-largest island. 406,808 people live there.
