Zanzibar is the ultimate Indian Ocean experience, with its fascinating history, incredible nature, enchanting sunset and magnificent beaches, altogether embraced by the scent of exotic spices. If you are looking for a peaceful yet active escape, Zanzibar is the perfect place to give rein to your holiday wanderlust.
The position of Zanzibar, which is washed by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, made this archipelago a favorable base for traders voyaging between Africa, Arabia, and India. These three cultures shaped Zanzibar’s history, traditions, food and language. Because of the traders’ need to communicate with the natives, a new language emerged which combined Arabic, Persian, English, and Swahili.
Zanzibar is one of the main archipelagoes of Tanzania, and the name Tanzania comes from combining the names Tanganyika and Zanzibar. The name Zanzibar comes from the Arabic Zanjibār and Persian Zang-bār. It combines the words Zang (“Black“) + bār (“coast, land, country“). Zanzibar is also called “Coast of Black”.
Pick up on arrival at Zanzibar international airport and transfer to Zanzibar for dinner. Overnight at hotel.
Relax at the beach. Later transfer to the Zanzibar prison island - this historical island was used as a prison for rebellious slaves, the jail was constructed in 1893 and hence the old name “Prison Island”. Today the island has become a small tourist resort where one can relax and walk around to see giant tortoise and enjoy the beautiful beach, swim and snorkelling in the coral reefs. The drive to the island is about 45minutes. Later return to the hotel for hot lunch. Spend the rest of the day at leisure. Dinner and overnight at the same hotel.
The tour starts from stone town where we will visit the historical and interesting places in town such as Zanzibar Museum, former slave market, the busy food market, house of wonders, old fort, the sultan palace, Dr. Livingstone’s house and the harbour for dhows. Finally, you will take a leisurely walk through the narrow streets of stone town. You will have lunch in one of the restaurants in the town. Back to the hotel in the evening for dinner. Overnight same hotel.
The tour takes you to the country side to visit some plantations such as root crops, spices, perfumes, medical plants tropical fruits and flowering trees. It is a tour that will prove why Zanzibar is referred to as “spice island”. You will also get a chance to visit kidichi persian baths built in 1850 by Sayyid said bin sultan the first sultan of Zanzibar. You will have a chance to have lunch prepared from very fresh food items in a restaurant close to the plantations in the evening/afternoon drive to the airport for a flight home on flight departure time.
