Tour Overview

Zanzibar is far more than a beach holiday. This curated itinerary combines the archipelago's rich cultural heritage with world-class beach relaxation and marine adventures.

Explore Stone Town's labyrinthine alleys and centuries of Swahili, Arab, and Indian influence. Taste exotic spices at their source on a guided plantation tour. Snorkel the pristine reefs of Mnemba Atoll. Then unwind on powder-white beaches with nothing but the Indian Ocean breeze.

Whether as a standalone holiday or the perfect finale to a mainland safari, Zanzibar delivers an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

Highlights

UNESCO Stone Town walking tour
Spice plantation tour
