The Itinerary

You’re met at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport and transferred to your hotel in the heart of Stone Town, Zanzibar’s UNESCO World Heritage old quarter. The rest of the day is yours to settle in — wander the narrow alleys, browse the carved wooden doors, and catch the sunset over Forodhani Gardens. Dinner and overnight in Stone Town.

After breakfast, a guided walking tour through Stone Town takes in the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, the Anglican Cathedral built on the former slave market, and the Old Dispensary, ending with coffee in one of the town’s rooftop cafes. In the afternoon we visit a working spice plantation outside town, where you’ll pick, smell and taste cloves, vanilla, cardamom and more — the trade that gave Zanzibar its name. Overnight in Stone Town.

After breakfast we transfer you to the north coast around Nungwi or Kendwa — roughly an hour’s drive — where the beaches turn to powder-white sand and the water to clear turquoise. The rest of the day is free to swim, relax, or arrange an optional snorkeling trip. Dinner and overnight at your beach hotel.

A final morning at leisure on the beach before we transfer you back to the airport for your onward flight.
