Sample Itinerary 1

Indicative Price, from £1,325.00 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, 4, 5, 6: - Arrive on Zanzibar early/mid morning (via Nairobi or Dar es Salaam). Met by our agent for your transfer to a beach location. 5 x nights at, say, the north coast at Nungwi, where accommodation would be at an hotel like Flame Tree Cottages or Kendwa Breezes 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. The north & north east coasts are good locations for scuba diving and snorkelling, as well as chilling-out.

Day 7, 8, 9, 19, 11: - Transfer nearly the full length of the island to the south east or south coast where accommodation for 5 nights could be at an hotel similar to the Michamvi Beach “Resort” (half board), or Arabian Nights, (bed & breakfast) or Karamba “Resort” (half board). Walk for miles along the beach calling in to some of the fishing villages where life has not changed for decades, and the impact of tourism is negligible.

Day 12 & 13: - Transfer back to Stone Town for your last 2 days/night with accommodation at a mid-range hotel of your choice, for example, Dhow Palace Hotel, Asmini Palace 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 14: - Morning transfer to the airport for an early/mid morning flight back to England. Evening arrival in London most days of the week. Some flights with Kenya Airways and flights with Emirates & Qatar Airways are afternoon departures and overnight to Heathrow.
