A 9-day Zanzibar programme combining the selected accommodation with the coastal and activity days shown below.
This 9-day Zanzibar stay is built around culture & spice tour, with a daily plan that separates arrival, time at the accommodation, selected visits and departure. The final beach location and property are chosen for your dates, room requirements and budget. The programme is a proposed arrangement rather than a promise that every listed optional activity is available without a reservation.
Zanzibar combines beach areas with the historic streets of Stone Town, spice-farm visits and inland or marine excursions. Road and boat travel need to be allowed for, so the daily plan leaves space around the chosen activities instead of treating all parts of the island as one short transfer. Beach and boat conditions vary with the location, tide and weather.
Your quotation states the accommodation, room type, board basis, transfers and activities that are included. Optional upgrades and personal expenses are separate unless expressly added. Share your arrival and departure details before confirmation so that the first and final days match your travel schedule.
On arrival in Zanzibar, meet the transfer arranged for your booking and travel to the selected accommodation. The transfer and check-in plan depend on the arrival time and the part of the island where you are staying. A late arrival is treated as a transfer and settling-in day rather than an opportunity to promise an additional excursion.
After check-in, take time to organise the stay and review the following day’s programme. Discuss the meal plan, any pre-booked activities and the times needed for collection. Beach access, swimming conditions and hotel facilities depend on the property and location. The first evening is kept flexible so that the start of the holiday matches your actual flight schedule.
Distance / timing: Transfers and activity timings follow the confirmed programme.
Overnight: Selected Zanzibar accommodation
Meals: The board basis and any excursion meals stated in your quotation
Travel into Stone Town for the walking programme with the arranged guide. The visit explores the historic streets and coastal trading heritage of Zanzibar, with time to observe the mix of Swahili, Arab, Indian and European influences in the townscape. The exact walking route is matched to your interests, the opening arrangements and the time available.
Keep comfortable footwear and clothing suitable for the town visit. Building interiors, museums and other paid entrances are only included when stated in the quotation; a guided walk is not the same as admission to every attraction. Allow time for a meal or refreshments before returning to the accommodation. Photographs of residents and private spaces should be taken with permission.

Visit the selected spice farm with a local guide to learn about the plants grown on the island and how they are used in food and daily life. The stop is planned as a guided farm visit rather than simply a shopping break. What is growing or ready to demonstrate depends on the site and season.
Walk between the planting areas at the guide’s pace, with time to ask questions and see the preparation or tasting elements arranged by the host. Farm products offered for purchase are optional personal expenses. Confirm lunch and transfers as part of the plan; a farm visit can be combined with another activity only when the road time and opening arrangements allow it.

Meals: The board basis and any excursion meals stated in your quotation
Spend the day at the coastal accommodation selected for this package. Keep the schedule flexible for the beach, the property’s facilities and a relaxed meal break. Beach conditions vary with location, weather and the tide, so the best time for swimming or a shore walk is discussed locally rather than promised as an all-day activity.
Optional excursions can be added if they fit the time available and are confirmed in the booking. A resort stay does not automatically include boat trips, spa treatments or equipment hire. Use this day to enjoy the accommodation at your own pace, with breakfast and any other meals following the board basis stated in the quotation. Confirm additional services before using them.

Enjoy the time available at your accommodation before the departure transfer. The final morning is planned around check-out and the flight or ferry time supplied at booking, so a boat excursion or a distant island visit is not assumed to fit into this day. Store luggage with the property only under the arrangement they confirm.
Meet the driver for the agreed transfer to the departure point. Allow for the road journey from your selected beach area, rather than judging the travel time from the airport’s distance to Stone Town alone. Late check-out, an extra hotel night or a different drop-off can be requested, with availability and any additional charge confirmed in advance.

Choose the property standard and beach area with the team before confirming the stay. Room category, occupancy, board basis and availability are stated in the quotation. A honeymoon, family or villa label does not by itself guarantee a particular hotel facility or exclusive service.
Marine activities depend on weather, sea conditions, permissions and the operator’s arrangements. Confirm equipment, transfers, meal arrangements and any experience or age requirements before booking. Wildlife sightings and access to privately managed islands are not guaranteed.
Breakfast, half board, full board and all-inclusive accommodation are different meal arrangements. The board basis for the property is listed in the quotation, along with meals included on excursions. Drinks, private dinners and special arrangements are only included when expressly stated.
The quotation identifies the collection and drop-off points for airport, ferry and excursion transfers. Share the actual arrival and departure times so that the road journey from the selected beach area can be allowed for.
