A 3-day Zanzibar excursion allows you to explore more of the island’s beauty, history, and culture while enjoying some relaxation on its stunning beaches. Here’s a recommended itinerary for a 3-day stay in Zanzibar:

3 Days Zanzibar

Day 1: Arrive in Zanzibar
On arrival in Zanzibar you will be met by our representative and transferred to the Seyyida Hotel. Following lunch, you will be picked up and shown around Stone town. UNESCO has declared Stone Town as one of the world’s historic cities, and it’s now a protected area in Zanzibar. The 2-hour tour will take you to the most scenic parts of the Old Town. This is the cultural heart of Zanzibar. Our guides are experienced and very well conversant with the rich history of the Island.
The Old Town oozes magic and mystery and shafts and sharp light joust with deep shadows creating a fascinating world in the narrow streets. Highlights include the market, slave market, the cathedral (Cathedral Church of Christ) built in its site in 1874, Africa House, Gizanga Street and House of Wonders. Transfer back to the Seyyida Hotel for Dinner and Overnight.

Day 2: Spice Tour and Jozani Forest
After breakfast, pick you up from hotel and transfer to Kizimbani Village for the Spice Tour. For much of the year the scent of cloves is carried in the breezes from the clove buds drying the sun on road reside mats. The Spice Island as it is affectionately called has over forty of the most valuable tropical aromatic plants that were introduced over the last two centuries by the Oman Arabs. The spices are grown in the spice grades in the hills north of Stone Town. Our knowledgeable guides will take you through this fascinating tour. Spices can be tasted and even purchased. Following your Spice Tour you will enjoy lunch at a typical Zanzibari restaurant. After lunch you will enjoy a drive through the island to reach Jozani Forest. At the Jozani Forest you will be met by a knowledgable guide who will tell you all about the secondary growth forest and point out various flora and fauna such as vervet monkeys, gorgeous butterflies and the red colobus monkey which can be seen no where else in the world!!
