Day 1: Arrival in Zanzibar and Stone Town Charm

Arrive at Zanzibar Airport at 4:30 PM, where you’ll be greeted and transferred to your Stone Town hotel for an overnight stay. Settle in and prepare to explore the historic heart of Zanzibar.

Day 2: Stone Town Exploration and The Rock Restaurant

At 9:00 AM, embark on a guided tour of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover the rich history and unique architecture of this fascinating town, including visits to the former slave market (now the Anglican Church), the bustling town market, the Zanzibar Memorial Museum, the House of Wonders (Beit Al Ajab), the Old Arab Fort, the Palace Museum, and the Old Indian Dispensary (cultural center). At 2:00 PM, you’ll be transferred to your North or East coast hotel, passing by the Maruhubi Palace ruins and the Living Stone House along the way. After settling in, you’ll be transported to the iconic The Rock Restaurant at 6:00 PM for a memorable dining experience. Return to your resort for overnight.

Day 3: Mnemba Island Snorkeling and Spice Exploration

After breakfast, your guide will escort you to the departure point for an unforgettable excursion to Mnemba Atoll. This protected marine area, near Matemwe, offers exceptional visibility (10-30 meters) and is renowned for its diverse marine life. Snorkel or dive in the crystal-clear waters, encountering green turtles, playful dolphins, and perhaps even seasonal whale sharks or 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 exotic flavors of Zanzibar. Witness traditional mud houses thatched with palm leaves, lush fruit gardens, and captivating tropical scenery. You’ll then be transferred to Jambiani for your overnight stay.

After your forest adventure, you’ll head back to Stone Town and embark on a boat trip to Prison Island (Changuu Island). This island, once a holding point for slaves and later a quarantine station, now offers a tranquil escape. Enjoy a few hours exploring the island, meeting the giant tortoises, and relaxing on the beach. The tour departs twice daily (check times with your guide). Return to your hotel in the late afternoon.
