Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival Zanzibar & Stone Town Cultural Tour

Arrive at Zanzibar Airport and meet your driver for a private transfer to your centrally located hotel in Stone Town. After settling in, enjoy a guided walking tour through this historic UNESCO-listed city. Explore iconic landmarks including the Old Fort, House of Wonders, Sultan’s Palace, and the moving slave market memorial as you wander through winding alleys filled with local art and Swahili flair. Return to your hotel for dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 2: Prison Island & Spice Farm Experience

In the morning, board a traditional dhow boat to Prison Island, a former quarantine station that now serves as a protected sanctuary for giant Aldabra tortoises. Learn about the island's layered history, feed the tortoises, and enjoy swimming or snorkeling along the vibrant coral-fringed coast.

Return to Stone Town for an afternoon visit to a rural spice plantation. Walk through the fields to see, smell, and taste Zanzibar’s signature crops, including fresh cloves, cardamom, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Head back to your hotel for dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 3: Farewell Zanzibar

Rise early to enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel followed by a relaxing morning. Time-permitting, you can enjoy a final stroll through the local markets to pick up souvenirs or sip fresh local coffee by the historic waterfront before your private transfer to the airport for your onward journey.
