Our guide will be waiting to pick you up at the Zanzibar airport or harbor, and then drive you to your hotel in Stone Town, where you can check in for the night and enjoy dinner.

The historical Stone Town will be explored on foot after breakfast at your hotel. Stops along the way include the House of Wonders (Beit al ajaib), the Palace Museum (People’s Palace), the Arab Fort, and the Slave Chambers. Visit these landmarks to learn about the people, places, and events that have shaped Zanzibar’s history over the course of several centuries. Stone Town is a labyrinth, and you’ll be able to walk its twisting alleys in the footsteps of Zanzibar’s ancient inhabitants and rulers. Stone Town looks like it hasn’t changed in centuries.

After lunch, you’ll set sail for Prison Island, a former slave prison that is now a quarantine for mariners and merchants who have contracted diseases from the East African interior. The island’s primary draws are a collection of historic slave artifacts and a population of friendly, elderly giant tortoises.

Forodhani Gardens is where you’ll go later that night to eat seafood the Zanzibari way. Stay in your hotel in Stone Town for dinner and the night.

Your day trip from Stone Town will take you to a spice farm run by a local family, where you can sample authentic Zanzibari spices. You can visit spice markets, where you can smell, taste, and buy the spices that bring ships from all over the world to Zanzibar.

You will get knowledge of the spices and their applications in traditional Zanzibari medicine and cooking. Zanzibar’s current spice flora is mostly the result of imports made by the Oman Arabs, who ruled the island for hundreds of years.

The owner of the spice farm will host lunch today, and he or she will treat you to traditional dishes from Zanzibar cooked using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. You should try some of the fruits and spices that are cultivated there. You will be picked up in the afternoon and taken to Nungwi beach, where you can spend the remainder of the day at your leisure.

Today, you’ll spend the better part of the day on a dolphin excursion at Kizimkazi, a town near the island’s southernmost point. Kizimkazi is home to a big population of both bottlenose and humpback dolphins, and swimmers can get incredibly close to these gentle mammals. Visiting Kizimkazi to go on a dolphin excursion is an unforgettable adventure.

The amazing plants and animals along the nature trail in Jozani Forest are a highlight of any visit to Zanzibar.

From your beachside hotel, you’ll travel to the nearby villages of Kizimkazi, nungwi, Paje, or Jambiani to experience local culture, interact with the inhabitants, and learn about their everyday lives. The Island’s diverse Afro-Asian heritage is on full display.

The women of the fishing communities collect seaweed and hunt for oyster shells, while the males go deep sea fishing and sell the catch. It is likely that if you travel to the villages on a Friday, you will witness a traditional wedding ceremony.

During this day, you’ll have the chance to mingle with natives of Zanzibar and learn about their customs and traditions.

Spend these two days at the beach unwinding, refreshing, and rejuvenating before traveling back home.

Diving, snorkeling, paragliding, jet skiing, and even beach volleyball are just some of the watersports you can partake in. Late at night, unwind and take in the breathtaking views of the sun setting over the tropical ocean.
