Where you’ll stay
Stone Town
Staying in Stone Town puts you inside a UNESCO World Heritage Site: centuries-old coral-stone houses, rooftop restaurants, the Forodhani night food market and easy access to Prison Island and the spice farms.
South or South-East coast
The south-east coast — Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu and Michamvi — is quieter and more laid-back, with wide powder-white beaches, turquoise lagoons and a big tidal range that reveals sandbanks and rock pools at low tide. Paje is also one of the best kitesurfing spots in East Africa.

Tour Plan
After arrival, meet and greet by our Representative at Zanzibar Airport and transfer to Stone Town for check in at the hotel of your choice. In the evening, join the Romantic Sunset Dhow Cruise. This tour starts from the shore of Stone Town two hours before sunset. After you step onboard the vessel, the skilled crew on board take the dhow away from the shore by means of an engine, once out in the sea the engine is shut off and during a tense moment the skillful crew puts up the sail, once the sail is in favour of the wind, the guest can sit back, relax, and enjoy the peacefulness of the ocean as you hear the ripple of water on the sides of the dhow as it glides swiftly through the clear turquoise water. Your breath will be taken away by the wonder of the fiery golden-sun setting beyond the horizon as it makes the sky a magical canvas of shades of pinks, purples, blues and orange. As you head back for stone town the wind gently blows into the lateen sail which is truly mesmerizing, back to the hotel for overnight.
At 09h00 will have the Stone Town City Tour and take you around the historical culture and architectural important town of Zanzibar with a century history. It includes a visit to former slave market site, now stands as Anglican church built in 1871, town market, visit the Zanzibar Memorial Museum, House of Wonder built in 1883 (Beit-Al-Ajab), Old Arab Fort, Palace Museum, Old Indian dispensary (Cultural Center). After the Lunch (not included), you will have a Prison Island Boat Trip. Prison Island or Changuu Island is the middle island of the three visible from the Stone Town. It takes approximately 30 minutes to get there by boat. The prison which was never used on this island was built in 1893, but was later used as a Quarantine Hospital. Apart from the Prison ruins you will also see the enormous giant tortoises which are the main attraction of the island. The tortoises were brought on the island from Seychelles by Sultan Said Majid in the 1820’s.
