5 Days Zanzibar Beach Holiday Experience

The 5 Days Zanzibar Beach Holiday Experience blends culture, marine adventure, and pure relaxation into one compact itinerary, wandering the UNESCO-listed alleys of Stone Town, take a boat to Prison Island for giant tortoises, then sail a traditional dhow to coral reefs and open sandbanks on the famous Safari Blue excursion. The Indian Ocean does the rest.

Between the excursions, time is yours. Long beach walks at low tide, sunset dinners by the water, and warm Indian Ocean swims fill the gaps between adventures. The island's spice-scented air and Swahili-Arabic architecture provide constant atmosphere even on the quietest afternoon.

Prefer more time on the island? The 6 Days Zanzibar Beach Holiday Experience adds a full day and a forest excursion. For the most complete Zanzibar package, the 8 Days Zanzibar Holiday Package is the top choice.
