Why this trip

Stone Town of coral stone is the entrance gate here, but the actual activity takes place on and under the island. On Zanzibar you can explore caves such as the Tazari Caves or the Maalum Cave, which demands sure-footedness and a torch. Kiwengwa Caves and the Garden cave are also on the list for the curious. Wear sturdy shoes in the caves and leave valuables in the room, because humidity and narrow passages are part of it.

On the water there is The Safari Blue, an excursion in dhow style in which snorkelling, sailing and beach come together. If you prefer to stay on land, hike to the Kidichi Spice Farm and learn how spices grow. Cheetah's Rock serves as a destination for everyone who wants to combine nature with animal protection. The months July to October are regarded as the best time to travel.

A note on the journey: with 9 to 11 hours of flight time and usually one change, you should expect recovery rather than stages on the first day. A visa is required, you should check the details before booking. You set the structure of the days together with Adventure in the video call.
