Day 1

  • Morning: Start your Zanzibar adventure at the island's main entry point, Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (AZA). You can find many international connecting flights here. From the airport, head straight to Stone Town, the island's historic capital. Explore the maze-like streets lined with coral stone houses, mosques with ornate minarets, and bustling bazaars overflowing with spices, souvenirs, and handicrafts.

  • Afternoon: Embark on a guided spice tour, a Zanzibar must-do. Learn about the island's rich history of spice cultivation as you visit a working spice plantation. Get to know the different spices that thrive in Zanzibar's fertile soil, from cloves and cinnamon to vanilla and black pepper. You'll not only see the plants but also learn about their traditional uses in cooking and medicine.

  • Evening: As the day winds down, savor a delicious dinner at a rooftop restaurant in Stone Town. Take in the panoramic views of the city and harbor while enjoying fresh seafood dishes infused with Zanzibar's aromatic spices.

Day 2

  • Morning: After a leisurely breakfast, take a dhow (traditional sailboat) trip to Prison Island. This small island, once a prison and quarantine station, is now home to a colony of giant Aldabra tortoises. These gentle giants can live for over 100 years and you can even get close to touch their shells.

  • Afternoon: After your Prison Island exploration, head to one of Zanzibar's many stunning beaches. The island boasts some of the world's most beautiful coastlines, with powdery white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Spend the afternoon swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling, or simply relaxing on the beach.

  • Evening: Enjoy a traditional Swahili dinner at a beachside restaurant. Savor fresh seafood dishes cooked with local spices, accompanied by the soothing sound of waves lapping the shore.

Day 3

  • Morning: Rise early for a thrilling dolphin-watching tour. Zanzibar's waters are home to a variety of dolphin species, including bottlenose dolphins and spinner dolphins. Witness these majestic creatures frolicking in their natural habitat, an unforgettable experience.

  • Afternoon: Delve deeper into Zanzibar's culture with a visit to a local village. Interact with the villagers, learn about their way of life, and witness traditional crafts being made. You might even get a chance to try your hand at making some souvenirs yourself.

  • Evening: As your Zanzibar adventure comes to an end, enjoy a farewell dinner at a restaurant with live Taarab music, a unique blend of Arabic, African, and European influences. Soak in the vibrant atmosphere and create lasting memories of your time on this magical island.
