THE PLAN
Your itinerary
Day 1Arrive and settle in Stone Town
Meet at Zanzibar Airport and transfer to the named Stone Town hotel. Keep arrival day flexible.
Day 2Stone Town with a local guide
Take a guided walking tour through public streets and the agreed heritage stops. Confirm any interior admission fees in advance; a Changuu boat visit is an optional addition.
Day 3Spices, then the coast
Visit the agreed spice farm with a local guide and tasting, then transfer to your named coastal stay. Choose the coast before quoting; the beach image illustrates Jambiani without fixing your hotel.
Day 4Jozani forest and the mangrove boardwalk
Take the guided forest and boardwalk visit with entry and transport specified. Wildlife is free-ranging; do not promise sightings or touch animals.
Day 5A day shaped by your chosen coast
Enjoy time at your hotel and beach. A Matemwe/Mnemba-water snorkelling trip or another boat day is optional, separately quoted and dependent on safe sea conditions.
Day 6An unhurried island day
Leave this day open for the beach, a local walk or a separately quoted activity. Tide times and conditions can change the order of island days.
Day 7Departure from Zanzibar Airport
Transfer to the airport for your flight, with enough time from the confirmed coastal hotel.

GOOD TO KNOW
Practical details
This is an individually quoted island plan, not a resort or room-category guarantee. The quote names the coast, properties, room basis, activity transport and admissions. Optional boat activities follow provider safety decisions and sea conditions. Any future education-support contribution would be separately agreed and documented.
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.
