Itinerary
Jambo! Welcome to Zanzibar, Tanzania – an archipelagic gem filled with beaches, markets and varied history. This is a place rooted in slavery, where Arabian sultans once lived and Swahili and Islamic influences blend together to create an island paradise steeped in fascinating, and sometimes dark, history. With no planned activities today, why not throw yourself into Stone Town’s maze of narrow streets and explore the bazaars, mosques and ruins. Perhaps head to one of the bars on the seafront and soak up the salty ocean air with a cocktail.
Venture out of Stone Town this morning and drive to the spice plantations for a guided tour to learn all about the history of this town's renowned spice trade. Take the opportunity to touch, smell and taste various spices – such as cinnamon, vanilla and ginger – then sample some delicious teas! After lunch, head to the northern beaches, where white sands and blue seas await. Enjoy an afternoon at leisure – this is the Indian Ocean at its best. (B/D)
Wake up in paradise and enjoy a full day of freedom to indulge in the island surrounds. Take the opportunity to snorkel in the transparent waters, walk the stretch of white sand and paddle in the Indian ocean. Tonight, maybe dine on freshly caught seafood or simply relax in a hammock underneath a coconut tree with a good book. (B/D)
Today, you’ll transfer from the resort to Zanzibar Airport for your departure flight and the end of your beach break. If you’d like to extend your stay, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time. (B)
