Find out more about what to see and do in Zanzibar.

The best season for this trip is from July – September.

DAY 1:  ARRIVAL IN ZANZIBAR

On arrival at Zanzibar’s Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, you will be met by our driver who will take you on a short 20-minute transfer to your hotel in Stone Town, the historic quarter of Zanzibar City. You have the evening at leisure and your dinner tonight will be provided by your hotel.

DAY 2:  STONE TOWN

This morning you will enjoy breakfast at your hotel, before meeting our expert local guide for a tour of fascinating Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Over the centuries, many cultures have left their impressions on Zanzibar and it is perhaps in Stone Town where you can most easily see their influences.

Your guide will lead you first to the colourful market, awash with exotic smells and buzzing with bartering locals. Afterwards, you will visit the calm of the 19th century cathedral, built on the former site of the slave market after the 1873 abolition of slavery. As you wander the narrow streets and alleys, you will pass the Arab houses with their inner courtyards, hidden behind heavy doors. You can compare their style with the Indian residences, adorned with balustrades and metal railings. Amongst the town’s historic sites are the ‘Tip Tip House,’ the Old Fort and the People’s Palace Museum. After the tour, we will transfer you to your chosen beach hotel for your dinner, an evening at leisure and the remainder of your stay.

DAY 3 – 5  BEACH

You will have three full days to do exactly what you want – or as little as you want. After all, you can simply relax by your hotel pool or down on the beach, perhaps under a swaying palm tree. If a day of total inactivity is really not your thing, you can swim or take advantage of one of the activities on offer via your hotel reception.

Optional Island Activities:

  • Spice Tour
  • Scuba Diving or Snorkeling Tour
  • Prison Island Tour
  • Windsurfing (lessons available)
  • Jozani National Park
  • Sunset at Michamvi or Sunset Cruise

Note: We do not recommend dolphin tours or any activity that involves human interaction with wild animals due to safety and ethical considerations.

DAY 6 – AIRPORT TRANSFER

After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, we will transfer you to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport for your onward flight. If you have a later departure, we will arrange for you to have lunch before you leave the hotel.

The best season for this trip is from July – September.
