Welcome to Zanzibar – the Spice Island of the Indian Ocean. With its rich Swahili heritage, palm-fringed beaches, and vibrant marine life, Zanzibar is a destination that combines culture, history, and natural beauty. This 4-day holiday offers a balanced mix of exploration and relaxation, from the ancient streets of Stone Town to the underwater paradise of Mnemba Atoll.
Day 1: Arrival in Zanzibar
Upon arrival at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by our representative and transferred to Amaan Beach Bungalows in Nungwi – one of Zanzibar’s most charming coastal areas. After check-in, the day is yours to relax and enjoy the laid-back beach atmosphere. You may take a sunset walk along the shoreline, dip into the warm Indian Ocean, or unwind at the beachfront restaurant.
Accommodation: Amaan Beach Bungalows (B&B basis)
Day 2: Spice Tour, Stone Town and Prison Island
After breakfast at the hotel, your exploration begins with a guided Spice Tour. Walk through aromatic plantations filled with cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, and other spices that have made Zanzibar world-famous. You’ll have the chance to see, touch, and taste these natural treasures straight from the source. Later, head to Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll take a guided walking tour through the maze of alleys, historical buildings, and vibrant local markets. Highlights include the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, and the Sultan’s Palace. In the afternoon, take a boat to Prison Island (Changuu Island). Once a detention center and quarantine station, the island is now home to giant Aldabra tortoises and offers great spots for swimming and light snorkeling.
A delicious lunch will be served at Travelers Café, a seaside restaurant offering views of the sparkling ocean. After the day’s activities, you’ll return to your hotel in Nungwi for a relaxing evening.

You’ll enjoy snorkeling over vibrant coral reefs, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and relaxing on a stunning sandbank. If lucky, you may spot dolphins and have the unique opportunity to swim alongside them in the wild. Return to the hotel in the early afternoon. The remainder of the day is at leisure—perfect for relaxing on the beach, enjoying a fresh seafood dinner in town, or reflecting on your incredible day at sea.
