Description

An excursion package spread over several days to discover the true essence of Zanzibar Island. Our experienced guide will introduce you to all the wonders of this paradise.
STONE TOWN & PRISON ISLAND:
Visit Stone Town capital and UNESCO World Heritage Site, discovering local culture and folklore. Stop near the Central Market, visit the Anglican Cathedral, built on the site where the slave trade took place, stroll through the narrow and ancient old town where you can admire the original Arab gates until you reach the famous House of Wonders and the Sultan's Palace, now an important museum. Last stop dedicated to shopping.
Then a short boat ride to Prison Island, an island where slaves were quarantined, and now home to the famous turtle reserve. Stop on the beach for swimming and relaxation, where you can admire the colorful starfish.
NAKUPENDA:
Nakupenda is a tongue of fine white sand that disappears every 4 hours at high tide: imagine being in the middle of the deep blue sea and in the distance spotting a little white strip that slowly gets closer. The island is about 100 meters long and about 30 meters wide. All around: a crystal clear sea. The first thing you feel like doing is diving and snorkeling . Lunch will be served under tents set up with colorful towels that also allow shelter from the sun, a typical Swahili lunch is served buffet style . A real banquet in the middle of the sea! After lunch you still have an hour or so to enjoy Nakupenda and to realize how quickly the tide rises and eats meters of beach in a very short time. Before the tongue of sand disappears altogether you climb back aboard the boat, from where you can admire Neverland.
SPICE TOUR:
Immerse yourself in the scents of this wonderful island, in the past known as "The Island of Spices." Visit to a spice plantation accompanied by qualified staff who will acquaint you with the origin and savor the aromas: nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, vanilla, cloves, saffron, black pepper, coffee, lemongrass and many others... you will be revealed all the remedies, characteristics and curiosities related to these exotic and intense aromas.
