Zanzibar Escape: 9 Days of Sun, Sea & Spice

Upon your arrival at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, you will be warmly received by our professional driver guide just outside the arrivals area. Your name will be displayed on a signboard for easy identification. Depending on your flight details (to be shared upon confirmation), you will be comfortably transferred to your hotel.

A full-day marine adventure awaits as you sail across Menai Bay on the popular Safari Blue tour. You will snorkel around coral reefs, relax on a pristine sandbank, and visit the stunning Kwale Island. A delicious seafood barbecue—featuring lobster, calamari, fish, and octopus—will be served alongside an assortment of fresh tropical fruits like mango, watermelon, and pineapple. It’s a perfect mix of exploration and indulgence.

Today begins with a morning pick-up for a unique kayaking adventure through the natural mangrove forests. Guided by local experts, you’ll learn about the ecological importance of the mangroves while gliding through crystal-clear waters. Keep an eye out for diverse marine species along the way. The trip concludes with a refreshing tasting of Zanzibar’s tropical fruits.

This day blends history, culture, and nature. Start at the historic Prison Island, where you’ll feed and photograph the giant Aldabra tortoises. Then, head to a local spice farm for a guided tour and a traditional spiced rice Pilau lunch. In the afternoon, walk through Stone Town, exploring iconic landmarks such as the House of Wonders and Freddie Mercury’s childhood home.

Today, you’ll check out from your hotel on the south coast and travel to the northern side of the island—Nungwi Beach. En route, stop for a guided tour of Jozani Forest, home to the endangered Red Colobus Monkey. After this enriching nature walk, you will be dropped off at your new hotel in Nungwi.

Enjoy a free day to relax at the beach or explore Nungwi at your own pace. You are welcome to book optional excursions like dhow cruises, village walks, or spa treatments if you wish to enhance your experience.

This second leisure day gives you the freedom to unwind, swim, sunbathe, or explore the vibrant atmosphere of Nungwi. Optional activities can be arranged based on your interest.

In the morning, embark on a half-day boat trip to Mnemba Island, famous for its vibrant coral reefs and playful dolphins. You’ll enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and underwater photography while experiencing the rich marine biodiversity of Zanzibar. The trip ends with a visit to Matemwe Beach, known for its quiet beauty and coastal charm.

After a memorable 9-day stay, it’s time to say goodbye to Zanzibar. Depending on your flight time, our driver will transfer you from your hotel to the airport. We hope you leave with unforgettable experiences and meaningful souvenirs.
