Expert tips

Zanzibar’s coastline offers some of the best beaches in the world, but sand and surf vary depending on what side of the island you’re on. On the east coast, waves break over coral reefs and sand bars offshore, and low tide reveals small pools of starfish, small minnows, and anemones. Up north, ocean swimming is much less susceptible to the tides, and smooth beaches and white sand make for dazzling days in the sun.

Day 2: Stone Town

After breakfast you depart for a stone town tour. Your guide will introduce you to all of the buildings of interest and famous viewpoints. Stone town and its buildings are full of history and stories of the old times of Zanzibar, when Sultans and Arabs, the Europeans and Zanzibaris wrote the history of this beautiful island.

You will visit the Anglican Cathedral and the Slave markets, the Palace of the Sultans, Tip Tip’s House, the Old Arabic Fort, Forodhani Park and of course the famous Zanzibar Doors in our petite little streets. We will show you Henna Art and bring you to the fruit and vegetable market. So be ready for a walk through the long history of Zanzibar and its numerous rulers.

You will have free time in the afternoon for you to explore further on your own or to relax. In the evening, depart from the hotel for a sunset cruise along the Stone Town waterfront.

Expert tips

The spectacularly beautiful beach at Kiwengwa is popular with large hotels and resorts, mostly hidden behind high walls and mostly all-inclusive, with guests seldom leaving the lush grounds. By contrast, just back from the beach, Kiwengwa village appears poor and dusty, highlighting an uncomfortable contrast.
