Zanzibar Stone Town & Spice — 3 Days
UNESCO Stone Town + spice farm tour + sunset dhow — the cultural heart of Zanzibar.
Overview
A culturally-dense 3-day Stone Town stay without the beach-resort commitment. Covers the UNESCO labyrinth of coral-stone houses, carved Zanzibari doors, the Old Fort and House of Wonders, spice farms that made Zanzibar famous, giant Aldabra tortoises on Prison Island, and sunset on a traditional dhow. Pair with a safari before or a beach stay at Nungwi / Kendwa after.
Route: Zanzibar airport → Stone Town (2 nights) → airport
