Day 1

Arrive on Zanzibar

When you arrive in Zanzibar, you'll bet met by a local representative and driven to your chosen hotel to begin your relaxing week on the famed spice island. You'll be shown to your room where you can unpack your bags and make yourself at home, saunter out to the terrace and enjoy the views. Time to relax!

Day 2

On Zanzibar

Wake to the sound of the breeze in the tall palm trees, a much gentler awakening than an intrusive alarm clock! Over breakfast you can ponder options for the day. All the hotels are set on the beach and offer many water-based activities. Each hotel also has a swimming pool and areas where you can lie back and top up your tan. There's no pressure to do anything other than relax and enjoy the ocean views.

Day 3

On Zanzibar

By now you'll be settling into the slower pace of island life. You might like to take a stroll along the beach at low tide, looking out for scuttling crabs and the distinctive sails of traditional dhows as they ply the waters. If the sun becomes too strong, there is plenty of shaded seating at the hotel.

Days 4-5

On Zanzibar

Another two days to relax or explore. You might like to try some watersports or perhaps spread your wings and explore the island of Zanzibar. Try a spice tour where you learn about the propagation and production of crops such as cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, or a trip to Jozani forest in search of colobus monkeys. You can also visit the capital, Stone Town, with its historic buildings, bustling alleys, busy waterfront, shops and cafes. After all the excitement you'll be glad to arrive back at your hotel to rest!
