Zanzibar welcomes you! We’re confident you’ve earned our trip to this enchanted island! You can choose to do nothing more than soak up the relaxation you deserve with five nights on this piece of paradise… As the beautiful clear waters of the Indian Ocean meet the perfect white sands of Zanzibar, marvel at the soft lapping of the waves. Add in a tour of historic, atmospheric Stone Town, and you’ve got yourself a perfect stay.
You will be met by our driver at Zanzibar's Abeid Amani Karume International Airport and taken on a short 20-minute transfer to your hotel in Stone Town, Zanzibar City's historic quarter. You have the evening to yourself, and your hotel will provide dinner tonight.
Breakfast will be served at your hotel this morning before meeting our expert local guide for a tour of fascinating Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Many cultures have left their imprints on Zanzibar over the centuries, and Stone Town is perhaps the best example of their influence. Your guide will first take you to the vibrant market, which is filled with exotic scents and bustling with bartering locals. After that, you'll visit the tranquility of the 19th-century cathedral, which was built on the former site of the slave market following the abolition of slavery in 1873.
You'll pass Arab houses with their inner courtyards hidden behind heavy doors as you walk through the narrow streets and alleys. Their style is similar to that of Indian homes, which feature balustrades and metal railings. The 'Tip Tip House,' the Old Fort, and the People's Palace Museum are among the town's historic sites. Lunch will be served on the rooftop of the Silk Route Indian restaurant, which has views of the ocean. Enjoy the excellent cuisine, perhaps washed down with a cocktail, on the Silk Route, which is full of character. You will be taken back to your Stone Town hotel for dinner and an evening at leisure in the evening.
After breakfast, you have the rest of the morning to yourself. Before we transfer you to your chosen beach hotel for the remainder of your stay in exotic, enticing Zanzibar, your Stone Town hotel will provide you with an early lunch. It's time to unwind and enjoy some real downtime after the delightful chaos of Stone Town.
Today, you have complete freedom to do whatever you want - and nothing at all. After all, you can simply unwind by your hotel pool or on the beach, perhaps beneath the shade of a swaying palm tree. If total inactivity isn't your thing, you can swim or participate in one of the activities available through your hotel's reception.
We will transfer you to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport for your onward flight after you have breakfast at your hotel. If your flight is delayed, we will make arrangements for you to eat lunch before departing the hotel.
