Zanzibar Combination Tours

About 8 hours · Best from Zone A and B hotels

Morning walking tour in Stone Town, then a boat to Prison Island for the tortoises, and an afternoon on Nakupenda sandbank. All three start from the same waterfront, so there is no extra driving.

Feasible on most days. The sandbank stop must match the tide; on days when low tide falls in the morning, run the boat first and the walk in the afternoon.

Taste your way round a spice farm in the morning, have lunch, then drive south to Jozani for the red colobus monkeys and the mangrove boardwalk.

Feasible. Both are road-based with no tide constraint. From the north coast this is a long day.

Red colobus in the morning, a swim in Kuza Cave, then a late lunch at The Rock on the Michamvi peninsula.

Early snorkel on the Mnemba reef, lunch, then the turtle conservation pond and the dhow-building beach in Nungwi.

Feasible. Snorkel first while the sea is calm. Boat departure from Nungwi keeps the afternoon short.

Day 1: our 1-day Mikumi fly-in safari from Zanzibar. Day 2: Stone Town walking tour in the afternoon and a sunset dhow cruise.
