Overview

History, Adventure and Beach, Unhurried

This 4-day package brings together the pieces of Zanzibar I'd recommend to anyone visiting for the first time: a Stone Town city tour, a full day on the water with Safari Blue, and a spice farm tour with snorkeling. You choose the start date, and it's a private trip, just your group in the vehicle with driver and guide, no joining a bus full of strangers.

Four days is enough to see the highlights without rushing through them, mixing culture and adventure activities with real time to relax on the beach.
