Safari summary

This 5-day Zanzibar holiday offers the perfect combination of relaxation, cultural exploration, and island adventure. Zanzibar, known as the “Spice Island,” is a paradise of palm-fringed beaches, crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and a rich Swahili-Arab heritage. It is an ideal destination for honeymooners, couples, families, or anyone looking to unwind after an exhilarating Tanzania safari or Kilimanjaro climb.

Your journey begins in Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its winding alleys, bustling markets, and historic buildings. You’ll have the chance to explore the vibrant streets, visit the Old Fort, and discover the House of Wonders. A guided spice farm tour reveals Zanzibar’s long history in the spice trade, where you can see, taste, and smell cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, nutmeg, and more.

The highlight of the trip is time spent along Zanzibar’s northern beaches, where white sands meet turquoise waters. Relax at your beachfront resort, take a dip in the warm Indian Ocean, or enjoy optional activities such as snorkeling, diving, dhow cruises, and visits to Mnemba Atoll. The beaches of Nungwi and Kendwa are world-famous for their beauty and magical sunsets.

This package balances leisure and exploration, offering a mix of guided tours and free days to relax at your own pace. With its unique culture, delicious Swahili cuisine, and breathtaking scenery, Zanzibar provides a holiday experience that is both soothing and enriching.
