Fly from Arusha to Zanzibar, part of the "Spice Islands." Upon arrival, you'll be met at the airport and transferred to your resort to check in.
Located just outside the town of Nungwi, your resort combines the beauty of nature with refined comfort, offers glistening sands and azure waters for you to enjoy. The friendly staff can assist you in anything from scuba diving to lazing in the sun and relishing cocktails. Spend the day relaxing, or get busy with the many additional activities on offer (prices upon request at reception).
After breakfast, transfer to Stone Town for a historical walking tour of this World Heritage Site. The three-hour guided tour starts at the House of Wonder (the first tall building in East Africa to also have electricity). It then proceeds to the Sultan's Palace, which is now a museum, then to the Old Indian Dispensary and the Livingstone House. Next, take in the hustle and bustle of the market, which dates to 1904 and where local exotic fruits and vegetables are sold. Also visit the Anglican Church, built in 1873 on the site of the old slave market, and continue past other landmarks including the State House, Zanzibar Museum, the High Court of Zanzibar, Tipu Tip House, the first British High Commission, Jamhuri Garden, and finally the Old Fort building. Take your time and visit a variety of souvenir shops to bring home some memories of Zanzibar before returning to your resort for the remainder of the day at leisure.
Today, enjoy a visit to a spice plantation. Learn where black pepper comes from, and see the henna, nutmeg, ginger, and other spices on display.
Transfer to the airport for a 20-minute flight to Dar es Salaam, where you will meet your international departure.
