4 Days Zanzibar Excursions

On arrival at Zanzibar’s Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, you will be met by our driver who will take you on the transfer to your Zanzibar beach hotel. You have the evening at leisure and your dinner tonight will be provided by your hotel.

After breakfast at your hotel, kick back and enjoy a day at leisure at your oceanside hotel. You can cool off in the hotel pool or in the nearby ocean – the choice is yours. Your hotel will also provide you with both lunch and dinner today, so this really is a day when you can take it easy.

Breakfast is once again provided at leisure by your beach hotel. After that, feel free to enjoy another full day of relaxation by the Indian Ocean: a bit of sunbathing, perhaps or something a bit more energetic such as snorkeling or swimming. Ask at the hotel reception, to see what activities are available. As you are on a full board basis, once again you will take both lunch and dinner today at your hote

This morning you will enjoy breakfast at your hotel, before meeting our expert local guide for a tour of fascinating Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Over the centuries, many cultures have left their impressions on Zanzibar and it is perhaps in Stone Town where you can most easily see their influences. Your guide will lead you first to the colourful market, awash with exotic smells and buzzing with bartering locals. Afterwards, you will visit the calm of the 19th C cathedral, built on the former site of the slave market after the 1873 abolition of slavery.

As you wander the narrow streets and alleys, you’ll pass the Arab houses with their inner courtyards, hidden behind heavy doors. You can compare their style with the Indian residences, adorned with balustrades and metal railings. Amongst the town’s historic sites are the ‘Tip Tip House,’ the Old Fort and the People’s Palace Museum. Lunch will be taken at the Silk Route Indian rooftop restaurant, with views to the ocean. The Silk Route is full of character, so enjoy the excellent cuisine, perhaps washing it down with a cocktail. Afterwards, we will transfer you safely back to the airport for your flight.
