Itinerary Overview

Zanzibar is a dream destination where endless stretches of white-sand beaches meet the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Known for its fascinating history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking marine life, Zanzibar offers the perfect setting for a week-long holiday filled with exploration and relaxation. This seven-day journey is thoughtfully designed to balance discovery and leisure — from wandering through the narrow streets of historic Stone Town and exploring spice plantations, to snorkeling in coral reefs and enjoying peaceful days by the sea.

Detailed Itinerary 

Day 1: Arrival in Zanzibar and Stone Town Exploration

Upon arrival at Zanzibar International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by your guide and transferred to your hotel. After settling in, take some time to unwind before heading out to explore Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with character and history.

Stroll through narrow alleys lined with intricately carved wooden doors, visit landmarks such as the Old Fort and House of Wonders, and stop at the bustling markets where spices and fabrics create a colorful scene. Your evening ends with dinner at a rooftop restaurant or along the seafront, where the Indian Ocean provides the perfect backdrop.

Day 2: Prison Island and Beach Leisure

After breakfast, embark on a short boat ride to Changuu Island, famously known as Prison Island. Here you will meet the giant Aldabra tortoises, some of which are over a century old. Later, dive into the warm ocean for a snorkeling experience among coral reefs that teem with tropical fish.

Return to your resort in the afternoon for a relaxing beachside lunch. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure — swim, sunbathe, or take a peaceful walk along the sandy shores as the waves wash gently at your feet.

Day 3: Spice Plantation Tour and Cultural Visit

This day begins with an exploration of Zanzibar’s lush spice plantations. Guided by a local expert, you’ll discover how cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are grown and harvested. Along the way, taste freshly picked samples and inhale the fragrant aromas that gave Zanzibar its nickname, “The Spice Island.”

Afterward, visit a local village for an authentic cultural encounter. Experience the warm hospitality of the islanders, learn about Swahili traditions, and perhaps share a traditional meal with the community. Evening is free for relaxation at your resort, where you’ll enjoy another dinner under the stars.

Day 4: Safari Blue Adventure

Today you will set off on a full-day “Safari Blue” excursion, one of Zanzibar’s most memorable experiences. Board a traditional dhow and sail across clear waters, stopping at pristine sandbanks and secluded islands. Watch dolphins playing, snorkel in coral gardens alive with marine life, and enjoy a freshly prepared seafood barbecue served right on the beach.

The rest of the afternoon is dedicated to swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the natural beauty of Zanzibar’s coastline. Returning to your hotel at sunset, you’ll carry with you a collection of unforgettable island memories.

Day 5: Jozani Forest and Dolphin Encounter

Your adventure continues with a trip to Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, home to the rare red colobus monkey found only in Zanzibar. A guided walk through the lush forest introduces you to mangroves, exotic plants, and playful monkeys leaping from branch to branch.

Later, head to Kizimkazi village for a chance to spot wild dolphins. You may even join them for a swim in the open ocean — an exhilarating experience that connects you directly with Zanzibar’s rich marine environment. The rest of the day is left free to relax at your resort.

Day 6: Free Day for Leisure or Optional Activities

This is your chance to simply relax and enjoy Zanzibar at your own pace. Lounge on the beach, swim in the crystal-clear waters, or indulge in optional activities such as diving, kite surfing, deep-sea fishing, or a spa treatment.

If you wish, you can also take a cooking class to learn how to prepare delicious Swahili dishes flavored with Zanzibar’s famous spices. In the evening, enjoy a farewell beach dinner under lantern light, a magical way to celebrate your final night on the island.

Day 7: Departure

After breakfast, take some time for a final walk along the beach or perhaps shop for last-minute souvenirs in Stone Town. Later, you will be transferred to Zanzibar International Airport for your onward journey, taking with you treasured memories of a truly unforgettable holiday.
