Overview

Experience a holiday in Zanzibar, the beautiful island on Africa’s east coast bursting with culture and history, seemingly at odds with its idyllic geography of white-sand beaches with palms swaying lazily in the sea breeze.

This short but sweet tour includes a tour of the famous Stone Town, a Prison Island tour and a Spice Tour where you can learn about the history of Zanzibar and the spices that you use every day at home!

As well as exploring all of the must-see destinations, you'll also have plenty of time to relax on the beach and at your hotel, soaking up that African sun!
