THE PLAN
Your itinerary
Day 1Arrive and settle into Stone Town
Meet your driver at Zanzibar airport or ferry port and transfer to the confirmed Stone Town guesthouse. Settle in; take an independent waterfront walk if arrival time allows.
Day 2Stone Town lanes and spice plants
Join the guided Stone Town walk, then travel to the named spice farm for a host-led visit. Return to your Stone Town room; meals other than breakfast are optional.
Day 3Forest, mangroves and the east coast
Visit Jozani with the park guide, then continue to the confirmed east-coast guesthouse. Check in for three nights and enjoy the coast at your own pace.
Day 4A tide-planned Nakupenda day
Transfer to Stone Town for the shared Nakupenda sandbank boat and picnic. Timing follows tides and sea conditions. Return to your coast guesthouse; an alternative ocean activity may be agreed if conditions prevent departure.
Day 5A free day by the sea
Keep the day free for the beach and village surroundings. Kayaking, Blue Lagoon or introductory diving can be added with a separate written price and the appropriate transfers.
Day 6Breakfast and departure transfer
After breakfast, transfer to Zanzibar airport or ferry port at a time that fits your departure. Flight and ferry tickets are not included.

GOOD TO KNOW
Practical details
USD 690 is an off-peak planning estimate for two adults sharing a simple guesthouse room, not a resort or all-inclusive stay. The written quote must name both accommodations, verify availability and itemise any visitor or accommodation levies before payment. Peak dates, solo rooms and upgraded hotels cost more. Ocean days can change with tides and weather.
Tell me about food preferences, walking pace and access needs when you enquire. We’ll agree any changes to the route and price before you confirm.
