Zanzibar After the Safari: Stone Town Architecture & Secret Sandbanks

After days of dusty game drives in Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, nothing restores the spirit like catching a 50-minute domestic hop to the spice island of Zanzibar.

Wandering Stone Town

Stone Town is a labyrinth of coral-rag buildings, brass-studded Arab doors, and lively evening food stalls at Forodhani Gardens. Sample freshly pressed sugarcane juice with ginger, Zanzibari seafood pizzas, and grilled lobster skewers directly from local harbor fishermen.

Sailing on a Traditional Wooden Dhow

Board a wooden dhow out of Fumba to explore Menai Bay Conservation Area. Snorkel alongside vibrant coral heads, spot pods of wild humpback dolphins, and disembark onto vanishing sandbanks surrounded by crystal-clear waters.
