Itinerary

Three Days in Zanzibar: Arrival, Exploration of Stone Town, and Town Tour

Upon your arrival at the Zanzibar International Airport, a representative from the Tembo House hotel will welcome you and drive you to the hotel for a three-night stay. The hotel is located just a 5-minute drive from the Zanzibar port and 8 km from the airport.

On your first full day in Zanzibar, go on a guided tour of Stone Town, a World Heritage site designated by UNESCO in 2000. Stone Town is an old part of Zanzibar City located on Ungula Island and was the former capital of the Sultanate. In the 19th century, it was a thriving business hub for spices and slaves. During your tour, you’ll explore the narrow passageways and ancient coral stone buildings, marvel at the huge carved wooden doors, and learn about the significance of these doors and their role in society. After the tour, return to the hotel for lunch and some relaxation.

On your third day, go on a town tour and visit spice farms to learn about the many ways spices are used in Zanzibar, from food and traditional medicine to cosmetics and spiritual practices. You’ll also have the opportunity to try a variety of indigenous fruits, including durian, mangoes, papayas, pineapples, and bananas. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even try your hand at climbing a coconut tree and taste the refreshing coconut water and inner pulp.

Expectations

AA Safaris invites you to visit Zanzibar, one of the Indian Ocean islands located on the Swahili Coast. Comprised of several islands, Zanzibar is known as the “Spice Islands” due to its large-scale production of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper. These spices are the main industries of the island, along with raffia and tourism. The local people speak English, Swahili, Arabic, French, or Italian.

Zanzibar is famous for its carved wooden doors and stunning architecture, which can be seen in the city of Stone Town. During your visit, be sure to try some of the fruit sold by vendors on the streets, such as durian, pineapples, and mangoes fresh from the gardens. You can also try your hand at climbing a coconut tree and experiencing a bit of adventure.
