A sample route to shape with your operator. The final programme confirms accommodation, meals, activities and transfers.
01
DAY 1
Arrival on Zanzibar
Arrive on the island and meet your transfer driver at the agreed airport or ferry terminal. Travel to your beach accommodation, check in and enjoy a quiet afternoon. Discuss the optional excursions and your preferred pace with the local representative. The final quote specifies the property, room type, meal plan and transfers.
02
DAY 2
A day at your own pace
Wake up beside the Indian Ocean and spend an unhurried day enjoying your beach accommodation. Relax with a book, walk along permitted shoreline areas or choose an optional excursion through your operator. Tide and weather conditions affect swimming and boat outings. This day is deliberately flexible; activities beyond the confirmed programme are paid separately.
03
DAY 3
Stone Town and island flavours
Meet a local guide for a walking introduction to Stone Town, focusing on its streets, markets and cultural history. Visit only the sites included in your quotation, with time to pause for refreshments. A spice-farm visit can be added or combined where arranged. Dress respectfully and ask permission before photographing people.
04
DAY 4
Explore the Indian Ocean
Join the marine outing confirmed in your quotation, with a safety briefing before boarding. Snorkelling routes and boat timings depend on tides, weather and your swimming confidence. Follow the crew’s instructions, avoid touching marine life and return to your accommodation afterwards. Diving, equipment upgrades and private boats require separate arrangements unless specifically included.
05
DAY 5
Island departure
Spend the morning at leisure if your departure time allows, then meet your transfer driver for the return to the airport or ferry terminal. Allow the check-out and connection time advised by the operator. Your island journey ends at the agreed departure point; additional nights or mainland connections can be quoted in advance.

BEFORE THE JOURNEY
Make the plan your own.
Private departure dates on request; availability must be confirmed.
Tell the operator your dates, group size, accommodation preferences and any accessibility or dietary needs. They will check the route, services and availability before providing a written quotation.

An enquiry creates a travel request; it does not reserve space or confirm a booking.
