Itinerary
Days 1- 2: Discover the Ancient History and Exotic Flavours of Zanzibar
We will meet you at Zanzibar International Airport and take you to your hotel in Stone Town. The drive is short, so you’ll be relaxing in no time. You’ll spend the night at one of our beautiful partner hotels: Kisiwa House, Emerson Spice Hotel, or The Neela Boutique Hotel. After checking in, you can enjoy a peaceful afternoon as you take in the sights, sounds, and sweet smells of the town. In the evening, you might want to try some tasty Swahili food at one of the many great local restaurants.
Stone Town is easy to explore on foot. The next day, you can walk around by yourself or join a local guide to learn more about the town. As you stroll through the narrow streets, you’ll see beautiful old buildings and Zanzibar’s famous carved wooden doors. You can walk along the seafront, visit the Old Fort, or learn about history at the former slave market. Along the way, you’ll find lovely places to eat. Many rooftop restaurants serve delicious local dishes. While you enjoy your meal, you can look out over the town, watch traditional dhow boats in the harbor, and hear the peaceful call to prayer from nearby mosques. It’s a special way to experience the heart of Zanzibar.
Days 3 - 7: Zanzibar: Adventure, Relaxation, and Culture
Overnight at Pongwe Beach Hotel, LUX Marijani, or SafiraBlu*
After your exciting time in Stone Town, it’s time to head to the beach! You’ll take a scenic drive—about an hour and a half—to the beautiful eastern and northeastern coast of Zanzibar, where soft white sands and clear blue waters are waiting for you. These beaches face the sunrise, and watching the morning sun rise over the ocean while fishermen sail by in their wooden dhow boats is a magical sight. For the next five days, you’ll enjoy a true beach escape. Relax by the pool, lie back under the sun, walk along the soft sand, swim in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, or treat yourself to a calming spa session.
There’s also plenty to explore nearby. Visit the green Jozani Forest to see monkeys and rare plants, take a trip to Prison Island to meet giant tortoises, or tour a spice farm to smell and taste Zanzibar’s famous spices. You can go snorkeling to see colorful fish, dive into coral reefs, or sail into the sunset on a traditional dhow boat. In the evenings, return to your lovely beach hotel for a tasty dinner with views of the ocean. Every moment here is made for relaxing, exploring, and making special memories.
Day 8: Farewell
After enjoying your final breakfast with a beautiful view of the ocean, feeling calm and refreshed, it will be time to say goodbye to the coast. Your driver will take you back to Zanzibar International Airport. Once there, you’ll say farewell and check in for your international flight home, taking with you wonderful memories of your Zanzibar adventure.
