Zanzibar Safari

5 Days Zanzibar Safari

From the historic Stone Town in the old part of Zanzibar City to the magnificent white sandy beaches and crystal clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean spend 5 days of bliss on this African island of paradise.

Day 1 : Zanzibar - Stone Town
Arrive into Zanzibar Airport/Harbor. Upon arrival you will be transferred to the heart of Stone Town where your hotel is located. Zanzibar has a rich history and it became a center of trade once it was settled by the Portuguese in the 16th and 17th Century. Zanzibar once held the title of being Africa's major hub of trade before the mainland became more settled and tamed (if Africa could ever be considered tamed). Zanzibar is also known as the 'Spice Island' due to this period when spice was its major trade followed closely by the slave trade and ivory. Zanzibar still today flourishes with the trade of spices, its most common exports being cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper.
Overnight: Stone Town

Day 2: Stone Town & Spice Tour
This morning you will be met by a local guide and taken on a guided tour of historic Stone Town and a spice plantation en-route to the beach. You will get the opportunity to see a spice plantation and the process involved in harvesting these perfumed ingredients. Today we take spices for granted but they were once as precious as gems or gold with pirates often cruising the coast pilfering ships for their precious spice cargo. Once you've checked into your hotel, spend the rest of the day at leisure and perhaps enjoy a dip in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
Overnight: Jambiani or Nungwi (dependent on your chosen package) | Breakfast, Dinner
