Unguja is known for its stone city, beautiful sandy beaches, fringing coral reefs and exotic flora and fauna reflecting its connection to the African mainland during the last ice age. Jozani Forest is home to many of the more unique creatures inhabiting Zanzibar; among them the Red Colobus monkey, one of Africa’s rarest primates, bush-pigs, civets and though believed extinct by many, the Zanzibar leopard.
Surrounded by the Indian Ocean Zanzibar’s reef, sand channels and rock formations are home to hundreds, if not thousands of different species of marine life. Dolphins, whales, sea turtles, sailfish, barracuda, whale sharks and scorpion fish are among the masses that live in these waters. Xplorer Maps captures much of this exotic landscape and animal life in this old-world style Zanzibar map.
The Zanzibar map is approximately 18" wide x 24" tall and is printed with eco-friendly inks on enhanced matte paper. This is an Epson Ultra Premium Presentation matte finish 10.3 ml paper that displays exceptionally well.

A lot of map art is simply stock or "open source" imagery with a logo or small piece of custom art overlayed so that it can then be marketed as "original, custom, art". Xplorer Maps is different. Every single line, letter and image has been intricately rendered entirely by hand. Each is unique and original to every new map we create. These maps are truly custom and one of a kind!
The medium used by world-renowned illustrator Chris Robitaille for these hand-drawn maps is pen & ink with multiple layers of watercolor washes. Depending on the depth of detail in the map being rendered, the actual art process takes anywhere from 5-8 weeks.
The end result is an entirely custom, unique and original piece of art that has been fully vetted for "educational merit, historical and geographic accuracy and cultural relevance.
