5 Day Beach Holiday to Zanzibar

Arrival at Zanzibar Airport. We will meet you at the airport with private transfer to Stone town. Dinner and overnight stay at Swahili House in Stone town.

We begin with a morning walk through historic Stone Town. This tour takes you through this fabled town, where history appears to stand still. With visits to the House of Wonders, the Palace Museum (People’s Palace) and the Arab Fort, it is a fascinating look at the essence of Zanzibar. You will see Zanzibar’s bustling market, winding alleyways, ornately carved and studded doors, two cathedrals and countless mosques. Dinner and overnight stay at Swahili House in Stone town.

Excursion to the spice and fruit plantations close to Stone town. We have developed a special Spice Tour with in depth information not only about spices, but also organically grown herbs and a detailed description about their traditional uses in medicine, cosmetics and cooking. After the tour we invite you to an opulent lunch at our guides’ home, where you can taste the spices and fruits. After lunch en route to the beach we pass Jozani Forest, the last habitat of the rare endemic Red Colobus Monkey. With a local guide you stroll through Jozani Chwaka National Park and look at the rare monkeys. If you wish you can even wander down the boardwalk to the fascinating Mangrove Ecosystem .From there we continue to a lodge on a very private and lovely beach for the remainder of the afternoon, dinner and overnight. Dinner and overnight stay at Kichanga Beach Lodge

Excursion to Kizimkazi. Situated on the southern point of the island, Kizimkazi fishing village is home to several schools of bottle-nosed dolphins and Humpback dolphins. A short boat trip from the village takes you to the site where you might spot them. If you are lucky, you may be able to swim quite close to the dolphins. We do this trip in the afternoon to avoid the large number of morning tourists, which are disturbing to the dolphins. Dinner and overnight stay at Kichanga Beach Lodge

Depending on your flight schedule and departure point you will be transferred to the Zanzibar Airport to take a flight back home. If you are flying out of Dar es Salaam or Nairobi, we will arrange a connection flight for you to catch your flight back home. Transfer to Zanzibar Airport.
