You're docked for 10 hours. We'll have you back at the port — with a lion story to tell.
Your ship docks in Zanzibar. You have 8–12 hours. Most passengers do the Stone Town spice tour. You could be watching lions in a national park 45 minutes away, then strolling through UNESCO-listed Stone Town, and still back at the gangway 30 minutes before departure. We have done this hundreds of times. We plan every minute of the day around your all-aboard time.
We plan your return to Zanzibar port for at least 45 minutes before all-aboard and confirm that time in writing when you book. If for any reason beyond our control (extreme weather closing the airstrip) we cannot complete the safari, we provide a full refund. Flights are small charters and can be delayed by weather, so we only book cruise days with a safe margin.
