There are few such evocative names as Zanzibar, the island that is part of Tanzania and lies about 20 miles off the coast near Dar es Salaam. For the first night you will be based in the old Stone Town, and have the opportunity to wander through fascinating narrow streets and the bustling bazaar. The following five nights you will spend on Zanzibars endless white, palmfringed beaches in a beach resort of your choice.

DAY 1
Transfer from Zanzibar Airport to Stone Town hotel of your choice.
Around the coast are some lovely beaches and coral reefs. The capital is Stone Town with its narrow streets and historic Arab influenced buildings. The best way to see Stone Town is, literally, to get lost. You can spend hours and hours just wandering the alleys and squares, drinking potent coffee sold by pavement vendors, or buying sweetmeats from scores of tiny cafés.

DAY 2 - 5
Transfer from your hotel to your coastal resort for 5 nights. Enroute we will do the Spice Tour. We have developed a special Spice Tour with indepth information not only about spices, but also organicaly grown herbs and a detailed description about their traditional uses in medicine cosmetics and cooking. After the tour we invite for an opulent lunch, where you can taste the spices and fruits. This is also the cheapest place to purchase spices and spice oils. The coast of Zanzibar is the stuff of dreams: long, sparkling white beaches, crystal lagoons protected by coral barrier reefs, and literally millions of coconut palms swaying in the tropical breezes. Zanzibar is one of the most fascinating places in East Africa.

DAY 6
Transfer to Zanzibar Airport.
