TOUR ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival in Zanzibar and Stone Town Charm

Welcome to Zanzibar! Upon arrival at Zanzibar Airport at 4:30 PM, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel in Stone Town. Settle in and enjoy your first night in this historic city.

Day 2: Exploring Stone Town and Dining at The Rock

At 9:00 AM, embark on a guided tour of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover the city’s rich history, culture, and architecture as you visit the former slave market (now the Anglican Church, built in 1871), the vibrant town market, the Zanzibar Memorial Museum, the House of Wonders (Beit Al Ajab, built in 1883), the Old Arab Fort, the Palace Museum, and the Old Indian Dispensary (a cultural center). At 2:00 PM, transfer to your hotel on the North or East coast, passing by the Maruhubi Palace ruins and the Living Stone House. After freshening up, you’ll be transported to the iconic Rock Restaurant for dinner at 6:00 PM. Return to your resort for overnight.

Day 3: Mnemba Island Snorkeling and Spice Tour

After breakfast, your guide will escort you to the starting point for an unforgettable excursion to Mnemba Atoll, a protected marine area near Matemwe. Enjoy exceptional visibility (10-30 meters) as you snorkel or dive in this breathtaking ecosystem, renowned for sightings of green turtles, playful dolphins, and, seasonally, whale sharks and humpback whales. After your underwater adventure, journey north through the countryside, passing through villages like Bububu, Kijichi, and Kizimbani. Experience the aromatic wonders of Zanzibar, the “Spice Island,” with visits to local farms cultivating spices, fruits, and medicinal plants. See, touch, and even taste the diverse flavors of Zanzibar. Admire the traditional mud houses with palm-leaf thatching and the lush tropical scenery. You’ll then be transferred to Jambiani.

At 9:00 AM, your guide will pick you up for a visit to Jozani Forest, home to the rare Red Colobus monkeys endemic to Zanzibar, as well as Sykes monkeys. Explore this fascinating natural reserve before returning to Stone Town to begin your trip to Prison Island (Changuu Island), one of three islands visible from Stone Town. Built in 1893, Prison Island has a varied history, serving as a slave holding point, a temporary hospital, and a quarantine station. A 35-minute boat trip will take you to this island resort. Enjoy a few hours (or a full day) of relaxation. Meet your captain under the large tree in Forodhani Park for tours departing twice daily (check times). You will be returned to your hotel.

Day 5: Departure

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel. At 5:00 PM (or a time agreed upon based on your flight schedule), your driver/guide will transfer you to Zanzibar Airport for your flight home. Please advise your departure time so appropriate arrangements can be made.

Zanzibar: where the spice-infused air whispers tales of adventure.
