Day by Day Itinerary

Upon arrival at the airport or harbor, you will be transferred to your hotel in Stone Town.

Overnight at Zanzibar Serena Inn or Tembo House Hotel on bed and breakfast.

Breakfast at the hotel, then depart for a guided tour of Zanzibar Island. The tour starts with a visit to Zanzibar’s very busy and vibrant market. A lot of trade takes place here, with such goods as fresh vegetables, tons of tropical fruit, loads of Jackfruit, and several other exotic fruits being sold and battered.

Afterwards, proceed to the old cathedral, a monument of great historical significance. Built in 1874, the cathedral stands on the site of a former slave market. The exact point where the cathedral’s altar stands was, in an earlier time, a whipping post for slaves. That was in the era before 1873, the year when the Sultan of Zanzibar issued a decree abolishing slavery.

The tour then takes you to the old fort, the people’s palace, ‘Tip Tip House’, the house of wonders, and the residence of the late Sultans of Zanzibar. All these places are a significant part of Zanzibar’s history.

The last place to tour will be the narrow streets of the old Stone Town. You can further explore the old town and other places on your own later in the afternoon during your relaxation time. In the evening, you will go for a sunset cruise along the Stone Town waterfront. Dinner at a local restaurant, then return to the hotel overnight.

Overnight at Zanzibar Serena Inn or Tembo House Hotel.

After breakfast, you will leave for a spice tour, involving visits to the areas where the spices are grown and processed.
