4 DAYS ZANZIBAR SAFARI
Spending 4 days in Zanzibar is high up on most people’s bucket lists for a reason. Waking up on this incredible island isn’t far off from waking up in paradise, and with 4 days in Zanzibar, you’ll have just enough time to explore all of its highlights. We visited Zanzibar after a truly awe-inspiring safari trip and I didn’t believe the holiday could get any better. I was wrong. From the moment we boarded the tiny, rickety plane I knew we were in for an adventure and Zanzibar couldn’t have been a more perfect place to end such a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

FACTS
Start your 4 days in Zanzibar in the vibrant Stone Town. If you’re not a beach lover then Stone Town is the perfect place to spend all your nights, but we think the beaches here are too good miss so would recommend a day for exploring the city. We always recommend taking a tour of a city when you first arrive. There is so much value in finding out about a place from a local and being able to ask any questions you like. It’s always the perfect introduction to a place. This walking tour of Stone Town takes you to the most important parts of the old slave market site, the Anglican Church, the city market, the Palace Museum, Freddie Mercury’s house, and more. After visiting some of the top spots in Stone Town you can take the afternoon to wander the little alleyways and soak in the culture here. The afternoons can also be hot and sticky so it might be worth taking an afternoon siesta so that you can get the most out of the cooler evening! In the late evening will transfer to the hotel for dinner and overnight.
Head to the beach! Zanzibar is famous for its beautiful beaches and they were some of the prettiest we’ve seen. Each beach resort area of Zanzibar has a slightly different feel to it, so read the above descriptions before you book your accommodation. No matter where you end up, use this day to fully enjoy the beach, sea and your resort. Relax, read a book, listen to music, swim in the sea and take a sunset stroll along the beach. You’ll feel like you’ve arrived in paradise! In the late evening will transfer to the hotel for dinner and overnight.
The Mnemba Atoll is one of the best snorkeling spots in Zanzibar, so book a snorkeling trip and check out the underwater world surrounding this island. You’ll have the chance to see turtles, dolphins, barracuda, and a whole host of fish under the surface. If the sea just isn’t your thing, then take a tour to the Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park. Here you’ll have the chance to explore the forest and spot the creatures living within, including the rare red colobus monkey. You’ll also visit the mangroves and turtle sanctuary to see the work being done to help protect this beautiful species. In the late evening will transfer to the hotel for dinner and overnight.
End your 4 days in Zanzibar with a sunset cruise in a traditional Dhow. You’ll probably have spotted these incredible boats sailing along the coast, so why not experience it first hand? After this trip of a lifetime you’ll be able to enjoy the sun setting from the water, and reflect on all the memories made here. Then you be transferred to the airport for your flight back home.
