Zanzibar Lot

Discover Zanzibar stamp lots featuring issues from this historic island sultanate off the coast of East Africa (now part of Tanzania). Zanzibar stamps are highly collectible for their distinctive designs depicting the Sultan's palace, traditional dhow boats, clove plantations, Stone Town's winding streets and carved doors, Arab and Swahili cultural heritage, and the island's strategic position in the Indian Ocean spice trade. From early sultanate issues through British protectorate to independence, these philatelic materials document Zanzibar's fascinating history as a crossroads of African, Arab, and Indian cultures.
