4 Days Zanzibar Spice & Sands Escape

Day 1: Arrival & Stone Town Exploration
Upon arrival in Zanzibar, you will be warmly welcomed and transferred to your hotel in Stone Town. The adventure begins with a guided walking tour through the UNESCO-listed Stone Town, where you’ll explore its labyrinthine alleys, bustling markets, and historical landmarks such as the Sultan’s Palace, the House of Wonders, and the Old Slave Market. In the evening, enjoy a stunning sunset at Forodhani Gardens, where you can indulge in delicious local street food before retreating to your accommodation for the night.

Day 2: Spice Farm Tour & Jozani Forest Adventure
After breakfast, embark on an immersive Spice Farm tour, where you’ll discover the fragrant world of cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg—Zanzibar’s famous spices. Engage with local farmers, taste fresh tropical fruits, and learn about the island’s rich agricultural heritage. Later, head to Jozani Forest, home to the rare and endemic Zanzibar Red Colobus Monkeys. Enjoy a nature walk through the lush forest, listening to the sounds of exotic birds and exploring the unique mangrove ecosystem before heading to your beachside resort for a relaxing evening.

Day 3: Prison Island & Nakupenda Sandbank Experience
Set off on a scenic boat ride to Prison Island, historically known for its 19th-century slave trade and now home to giant Aldabra tortoises. Stroll around the island, interact with these gentle giants, and take in the breathtaking ocean views. From there, continue to Nakupenda Sandbank, a pristine paradise where you can swim in the crystal-clear waters, snorkel among colorful marine life, and enjoy a freshly prepared seafood lunch on the white sands. After a sun-soaked day, return to your hotel for a laid-back evening.

Day 4: Relaxation & Departure
Spend your final morning unwinding on the powdery white beaches of Zanzibar, taking in the serene ocean breeze or indulging in optional activities such as a Swahili cooking class or a traditional dhow cruise.
