The spice island off the coast of Tanzania offers white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and an old town steeped in history.
For centuries a trading crossroads between Africa, Arabia and India, Zanzibar was a centre of the spice trade and, sadly, of the slave trade too — a history preserved in the old Stone Town (a UNESCO site).
Stone Town with its carved doors, the spice plantations, the beaches of Nungwi and Kendwa, and a sunset cruise on a traditional dhow sailing boat.
Fresh seafood in coconut sauce, dishes with the island’s spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg), and tropical fruit.
The Forodhani Gardens night food market in Stone Town, and beach bars with live music.
Currency: Tanzanian Shilling (TZS, USD also accepted)· Time: 1 hour ahead of Greece· Arrival airport: Abeid Amani Karume (ZNZ)

The main inclusions are:
The full list of what is and is not included appears in the "Included / Excluded" section on this page.
For destinations outside the European Union you need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your return date, with blank pages for stamping. A national ID card is not accepted. Some countries also require a visa or an electronic travel authorisation to be obtained before departure, and a few ask for specific vaccinations. Entry rules change, so please confirm the current requirements with our office before you book.
The local currency is Tanzanian Shilling (TZS, USD also accepted). Cards are widely accepted in cities and hotels, but it is worth carrying some cash for small shops, markets and tips. Tell your bank you are travelling so your card is not blocked.
Changes and cancellations follow the terms of the airlines, hotels and suppliers booked for you, so the cost depends on how close to departure you are and on the fare rules of each booking. Tell us as early as possible and we will look for the least costly option. The general terms of participation apply to every booking.
Travel insurance is not included in the price unless the "Included" list on this page says otherwise. We strongly recommend it, especially for trips outside the EU, so that medical care, cancellation and lost luggage are covered. We can arrange a policy for you — just ask when you book.
Yes — this is an individual trip, not a group departure. There is no fixed itinerary and no coach schedule: you travel on your own, at your own pace. We can change the number of nights, the class of hotel, add or drop destinations and arrange transfers, car hire or private guides.
Send us a request through the form on this page, call us, or drop by the office. We will come back with availability and a written quotation before anything is charged. The trip as shown runs for 8 days.
