Highlights
Two nights in Stone Town for culture, food and history.
A spice farm, the Jozani red colobus and a dolphin trip at Kizimkazi.
Four nights on the east coast at Paje, where the water changes colour with the tide.
Overview
Zanzibar is more than beaches. This seven-day trip starts in the old town, adds the spice and forest experiences of the interior, and finishes on the east coast, where the tide goes out a long way and kitesurfers fill the sky.
It is a good balance for couples and friends. See Stone Town and Paje.
