Stone Town & Beach
8 Day Zanzibar Itinerary
Few places in the world evoke such romantic images as the tropical islands of the Zanzibar archipelago. The spice islands are best known for their palm-fringed white sandy beaches which lead into the turquoise tropical waters of the Indian Ocean. However, the capital, Stone Town, is almost an equal draw for visitors. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to bustling markets, a maze of narrow streets and interesting colonial architecture which tell a fascinating story of Zanzibar’s rich history.
We have put together three similar itineraries, each costed at a slightly different price point, designed to make the most of Zanzibar. Each includes two nights in the bustling Stone Town, giving you the chance to visit its markets, dine in its restaurants and discover its history, before spending five nights unwinding on the shores of the Indian Ocean.
Please note many of our itineraries are available at varying levels of luxury: ‘simple’, ‘classic’, 'exclusive' and ‘upgrade’. Use our itineraries for ideas on how to combine camps, regions and a range of experiences. Enquire when ready, and our expert staff will help customise your dream safari holiday that meets all your travel requirements.
