12-Day Zanzibar Holiday

The trip at a glance

Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Zanzibar

   After your arrival at Zanzibar Airport, you are welcomed by the team. A private transfer takes you to your hotel on the beach. The rest of the day is yours: time for a first swim in the Indian Ocean or a walk along the water.

2. Day 2

   Zanzibar

   The first full day belongs to the beach in front of your hotel. Here you can swim and relax; breakfast at the hotel is included. This is an easy way to settle in on the island.

3. Day 3

   Zanzibar

   The day is at your leisure on the beach. A trip to Stone Town through the alleys of the old town and across the markets, where you try local cuisine with fresh fish and spicy curries, is not part of the programme; if you wish, the team can book it for you at extra cost.

4. Day 4

   Zanzibar

   This day is also at your leisure; you could spend the afternoon on the beach, for example. A spice tour to the island's spice gardens, where vanilla and cinnamon grow, with a tasting of tropical fruit, can be booked on request.

5. Day 5

   Zanzibar

   The day is at your leisure. You can book a snorkelling trip to the coral reefs off Mnemba Island, or a dive, separately.

6. Day 6

   Zanzibar

   This day is also at your leisure. A sailing trip on a traditional dhow along the coast can be booked on request; the evening ends on the beach at your hotel.

7. Day 7

   Zanzibar

   The day is at your leisure on your hotel beach. An excursion to Paje Beach for kitesurfing under the palm trees, or simply for a swim, can be booked separately.

8. Day 8

   Zanzibar

   This day is also at your leisure. An excursion to Jambiani Beach, a quiet place where you can swim and try local cuisine, can be booked on request.

9. Day 9

   Zanzibar

   The day is at your leisure. An excursion to the beaches of Nungwi and Kendwa, with water sports in lively Nungwi and snorkelling in the quieter Kendwa, can be booked separately.

10. Day 10

    Zanzibar

    This day is yours to spend as you wish. You can stay on the beach or browse a market for handmade souvenirs. Your hotel remains your base; everything else is up to you.

11. Day 11

    Zanzibar

    The last full day on Zanzibar belongs to the sea once more. Swim or lie under the palm trees; you choose how the island days come to an end, and a snorkelling trip can be booked separately. In the evening you pack for the journey home at your own pace.

12. Day 12

    Zanzibar

    A private transfer takes you to Zanzibar Airport, where you begin your journey home. Depending on your departure time, there may still be time for one last walk on the beach beforehand.
