The Zanzibar Archipelago (Funguvisiwa la Zanzibar, in Swahili, ) is a group of islands off the coast of mainland Tanzania in the sea of Zanj. The archipelago is also known as the Spice Islands. There are three main islands with permanent human settlements, Zanzibar island, Pemba island, and Mafia island. There is also a fourth coral island, Latham island, that serves as an essential breeding ground for seabirds. There are also a number of smaller islets that surround these islands. Most of the archipelago belongs to the Zanzibar semi-autonomous zones of Tanzania, while the neighboring Mafia Archipelago and its associated islets are parts of the Pwani Region on the Tanzanian mainland.
