- Zanzibar - Experience an unforgettable coastal getaway that seamlessly combines Zanzibar’s breathtaking seascapes with its rich island heritage. Begin your journey at Forodhani Gardens, where you’ll board a traditional boat and sail across the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean to the stunning Nakupenda Sandbank — a hidden treasure that vanishes with the tides.
Relax on the soft white sands, snorkel among vibrant coral reefs filled with tropical fish, and savor a delightful selection of fresh tropical fruits, homemade bread, ginger tea, and natural juices — all while enjoying the tranquil beauty of the ocean.
Then, set sail to Prison Island (Changuu), once a slave holding site and now home to giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 100 years old. Discover historic ruins, unwind on the beach, or take a refreshing swim in the turquoise sea before indulging in a delicious Swahili-style buffet lunch accompanied by soft drinks.
