Trip Overview

Zanzibar is an exotic mix of tropical beaches and unique cultures.  We recommend a guided walking tour of Stone Town accompanied by our Zanzibar guide to help you learn to navigate the winding narrow streets of this ancient Swahili city, to learn the stories behind the beautiful doors that are a tradition of Zanzibar, and to prepare you for the wonderful shops selling curios and handicrafts from local areas.  Add as many days relaxing on the beach as you like.  Our suggested itinerary includes two days at leisure, but we have guests who stay for as long as six.  Zanzibar's beach resorts range from very luxurious to good value and simple.  Ask us for our recommendations. 

Wonderful activities on Zanzibar include:

• View primates in Jozani Forest
• Guided walk through a spice farm to taste cinnamon, pick cardamon, and sample other spices
• Dinner in the upscale restaurant at the Serena Zanzibar overlooking the Indian Ocean
• Go fishing with traditional Zanzibarian fishermen
• Visit the local village projects we support
• Meet with village turtle patrollers who protect Hawksbill Turtle nesting grounds
• Traditional dinner in the old city at Emerson & Green (now called 236 Hurumzi)
• Visit and talk with local potters
• Take the hydrofoil across the channel to Dar es Salaam

All of our experiences on Zanzibar offer our guests the opportunity to get off the tourist track and go behind the door - to experience the Swahili Coast.
