Day 1: Arrival & Stone Town Discovery
When you arrive in Zanzibar, you’ll be warmly greeted and taken to your hotel in the heart of Stone Town. Your journey begins with a guided walking tour through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll navigate narrow alleys, visit lively markets, and uncover historic landmarks like the Sultan’s Palace, the House of Wonders, and the Old Slave Market. As evening approaches, head to Forodhani Gardens to watch the sunset and sample flavorful local street food before settling into your accommodation for the night.

Day 2: Spice Farm Exploration & Jozani Forest Walk
After breakfast, you’ll visit a local spice plantation to experience the rich aromas and flavors that have made Zanzibar famous. Learn about the cultivation of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla while tasting freshly picked tropical fruits and engaging with local farmers. Later, travel to Jozani Forest, the only national park on the island and a sanctuary for the endangered Zanzibar Red Colobus Monkeys. Enjoy a guided walk through the verdant forest trails and mangrove boardwalks before heading to your beachside resort for a relaxing evening.

Day 3: Prison Island & Nakupenda Sandbank Escape
Begin your day with a scenic boat trip to Prison Island, once used during the slave trade era and now a refuge for giant Aldabra tortoises. Wander the island’s paths, meet the tortoises up close, and take in panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. From there, continue to Nakupenda Sandbank, an idyllic stretch of white sand where you can swim in turquoise waters, snorkel among colorful fish, and savor a fresh seafood lunch right on the beach. In the late afternoon, return to your hotel to unwind after a day in paradise.

Day 4: Leisure Time & Departure
Spend your last morning soaking up the tranquility of Zanzibar’s beautiful beaches, enjoying the gentle sea breeze or choosing an optional experience like a Swahili cooking class or a leisurely dhow sailing trip. After a restful start to your day, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your departure, taking with you unforgettable memories of Zanzibar’s rich culture and stunning coastlines.
