Sample Itinerary 1

Indicative Price, from £1,235.00 per person

Return flights - Mid-range Hotels - Stone Town & 2 beach locations - All transfers.

This is based on flights from London, accommodation at mid-range hotels and combining some time in Stone Town, with most of the time at the beach, at two different locations. All transfers are included in the indicative price.

Day 1 : - Late evening departure from London (Heathrow).

Days 2, & 3 : - Arrive on Zanzibar early/mid morning (via Nairobi or Dar es Salaam). Met by our agent for your transfer to a mid-range hotel of your choice in Stone Town. Have 2 nights at, for example, Dhow Palace Hotel, on a bed & breakfast basis. Time to discover the "real" Zanzibar, where visitors rub shoulders with local people going about their daily life; visit the ex-Sultan's palaces, the markets and museums; wander the labyrinth of narrow streets; take a boat to the islands off Town. Our agent in Zanzibar can take you on a 3 hour tour of Stone Town.

Day 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 : - Transfer by our agent to a beach location, say, the north coast at Nungwi, where accommodation for 5 nights would be at an hotel like Flame Tree Cottages or Nungwi Village Beach Resort with accommodation on a bed & breakfast basis. Alternatively accommodation may be at Matemwe Beach Village on the north east coast on a half board basis. Time for relaxation. The north coast is a good location for scuba diving and snorkelling, as well as chilling-out.

Day 9, 10, 11,& 12 : - Transfer nearly the full length of the island to the south east coast where accommodation for 4 nights would be at an hotel similar to the Sau Inn, Villa Bahati or Arabian Nights, where accommodation would be on a bed & breakfast basis. Walk for miles along the beach, rarely seeing another visitor; call in to some of the fishing villages where life has not changed for decades, and the impact of tourism is negligible.

Day 13 : - Transfer back to Stone Town for your last night with accommodation at a mid-range hotel on a bed & breakfast basis.

Day 14 : - Morning transfer to the airport for an early/mid morning flight back to England. Evening arrival in London most days of the week. On some days there is a transit in Nairobi where we can arrange excursions, for example afternoon game drive in Nairobi National Park, before the late night departure to London.
