Your journey begins with a morning flight from Arusha or Dar es Salaam to Abeid Amani
Karume International Airport in Zanzibar. Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed by a
representative from Neste Uganda Safaris Ltd and transferred to your charming hotel in Stone
Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After settling in and enjoying a light lunch, set off on a
guided walking tour through Stone Town’s winding alleys. Visit historical landmarks like the
Old Slave Market, House of Wonders, and the Sultan’s Palace, while learning about the island's
Swahili-Arabic heritage. Pass by vibrant markets, spice shops, and intricately carved Zanzibari
doors. In the evening, enjoy a rooftop dinner with sunset views over the ocean or head to
Forodhani Gardens for a taste of Zanzibar’s famous street food.

After breakfast, check out and take a short drive to a local spice plantation for a Spice Tour, one
of Zanzibar’s signature experiences. Walk through aromatic groves of clove, cinnamon,
cardamom, nutmeg, and vanilla, and learn how these spices are grown, harvested, and used in
daily life. You’ll also sample fresh tropical fruits like jackfruit, starfruit, and durian, and even see
natural lipstick made from annatto seeds. After the tour, continue to Zanzibar’s beautiful East
Coast—home to powder-white beaches and calm turquoise waters. Check in to your beachfront
resort in areas like Paje, Jambiani, or Kendwa, depending on your preference. Spend your
afternoon relaxing on the beach, swimming, or sipping a cocktail as the ocean breeze soothes
your senses. Optional water activities such as snorkeling, kite surfing, or a sunset dhow cruise
can be arranged.

Start your day with a half-day ocean excursion, such as snorkeling at Mnemba Atoll, a protected
marine reserve famous for its coral reefs and vibrant marine life. Depending on the tides and
your location, you may opt for dolphin watching, traditional dhow sailing, or a village visit to see
the local way of life. Enjoy a light brunch or snack on board or back at your hotel.
After the excursion, freshen up, check out, and enjoy your final scenic drive back to Zanzibar
Airport. Along the way, stop at a local craft market for last-minute souvenirs such as spice
packages, wood carvings, or Maasai jewelry. You’ll then catch your afternoon or evening flight
back to Arusha, Dar es Salaam, or your next safari or international destination. Neste Uganda
Safaris Ltd will ensure a smooth and timely transfer, wrapping up your perfect island escape.
