Trip Overview

Zanzibar — the Spice Island archipelago off Tanzania’s east coast — combines UNESCO World Heritage Stone Town, working spice plantations, fresh seafood culture, and some of the best white-sand beaches in Africa. This five-day escape begins with a day in Stone Town (Swahili-Arab labyrinth, the old fort, the Mercury House, the night market at Forodhani Gardens), then transfers to a beachfront boutique hotel at Nungwi or Kendwa for three nights of barefoot luxury. Add a spice tour, a dolphin/snorkel day at Mnemba Atoll, and a sunset dhow cruise. Pairs perfectly with one of our Tanzania safaris for the classic safari + beach combination.
