The journey
Five nights in Zanzibar over Christmas: a day in the lanes of Stone Town, and the rest on a beach of fine white sand.
Zanzibar combines a historic port city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with some of the finest beaches on the East African coast. We split the stay between a night or two in Stone Town and the remainder on the north or east coast, depending on the season's tides and your preference.
This is a regional departure. It needs a passport and flights booked early. Festive-week pricing is much higher than the shoulder season, and we say so at the quote stage.
Highlights
- A guided morning in Stone Town: markets, doorways and the old harbour
- A spice-farm visit (optional)
- A sunset dhow sail
- A beach resort chosen for tides, privacy and service
