Upon arrival at Zanzibar International Airport, a driver will await you. You will be transferred to your hotel in Stone Town, which is only a short distance away. Once you have checked in, you can enjoy a relaxing afternoon, soaking up the sounds and aromatic aromas of the city, before heading to one of the many excellent local restaurants to try some delicious Swahili cuisine.

Stone Town is easily accessible on foot, and you can spend the following day wandering through the winding streets, either independently or with a local guide. Here, you can appreciate the grand architecture and admire the famous carved wooden Zanzibari doors. You can also stroll along the seafront or visit historic sites such as the former slave market or Old Fort. While exploring, you will likely come across some great places to eat, including several rooftop restaurants where you can sample Zanzibari cuisine. Experience its unique blend of influences while looking out over the old city, watching the dhow boats sailing into port, and listening to the enchanting calls to prayer from the nearby mosques.
