Overview

If your post-trek or safari priority is rest and beach time, this three night retreat offers just that.

Itinerary

Arrive on the beautiful island of Zanzibar, "The Spice Island". From the airport you will be transferred to your hotel in Stone Town. The rest of the day is at leisure to explore this magnificent, ancient town which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stone Town is a port city on the western coast of Zanzibar and historically significant as it was one of the main coastal and slave-trading ports in East Africa. Enjoy free time to stroll around the narrow alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques and grand Arab houses. You can spend many idle hours just wandering through the fascinating labyrinth of narrow streets, admiring the intricately carved wooden doors. Return to your hotel, which has local charm and character, authentic furniture and is in a good location. Be sure to take in the view from the rooftop terrace!

Meals: Nil

Morning at leisure in Stone Town. This afternoon you will transfer to the South West Coast (approximately 40 minutes) to our peaceful beach hideaway accommodation. Once settled in, there are several activities to enjoy or you may prefer to relax and not move beyond your front door.
