Welcome to Zanzibar.


This is a luxury plan to fully enjoy Zanzibar Island floating in the Indian Ocean, another charm of Tanzania. In the World Heritage site Stone Town, stroll through historic streets where Arab, Persian, and European cultures blend, and enjoy the island’s unique culture and scenery, including lunch at the popular overwater restaurant The Rock.
In the second half of the trip, based at a beautiful beach resort, enjoy dolphin watching and snorkeling around Mnemba Island and leisurely free time. This is a resort stay for adults to savor a tranquil island pace and the crystal-clear vistas of the Indian Ocean, different from a safari.
