Day by day

Day 1: Arrival in Zanzibar. At Mtende Beach, on the south-east coast, you walk barefoot through soft sand after landing and let the flight drain out of your bones. Once at the Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort, you need nothing but a cold drink and a sun lounger. Everything else begins tomorrow.

Day 2: Nungwi Mnarani Aquarium. The Nungwi Mnarani Aquarium in the north cares for sea turtles and shows how close conservation and beach life are to each other. A short visit, then there is time for swimming and a late lunch. Towards evening Nungwi shows its sunset side. A stop at Nungwi beach rounds off the trip without you having to plan anything for it.

Day 3: Cheetah's Rock. Cheetah's Rock is a recognised rescue and conservation centre, known for cheetah encounters. Take your time to listen, because this is about animal welfare and not about spectacle. In the evening you digest the impression over a quiet dinner by the water.

Day 4: The Safari Blue, Zanzibar. The Safari Blue is a full-day boat trip with snorkelling and a sandbank. You travel with other guests, so you follow the rhythm of boat and tides. In the evening you return sunburnt, with salt in your hair and a grin on your face.

Day 5: MAALUM CAVE. The Maalum Cave is a cave bath with clear, cool water that feels especially good after the hot beach. Afterwards the way leads to the Kidichi Spice Farm, where you smell spices, taste them and have them explained. Two impressions from the island's interior, good for a day away from the sand.

Day 6: The Cave. At The Cave you experience a cavern as a restaurant: the vault, the sea, the spray. You visit a place like this once and talk about it for years. Reserve early with our team in a video call, plan the afternoon on the lighter side and keep your camera ready.

Day 7: Tazari Caves. The Tazari Caves and the Kiwengwa Caves lead you into Zanzibar's underworld. Torchlight, stalactites, cool air. A day for explorers, even if you are usually more of a beach person. Afterwards there is sand as a reward and a late dinner. Pack a head torch and swimwear, and note that damp passages call for non-slip shoes.

Day 8: Farewell to Zanzibar. To finish, you visit the Garden Cave, the secret cave that is less well known than its large neighbours. A quiet full stop before the suitcases are closed. Take the last hours on the beach with you and let Zanzibar stay on your skin.
