Enjoying Zanzibar
After an unforgettable safari, enjoy several days of choosing how to spend your own time on the beautiful island of Zanzibar. Whether you choose to relax on the beach, unwind by the pool, indulge in fresh seafood, or explore the island's rich culture and history, the time is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Optional activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, spice farm tours, Stone Town sightseeing, sunset dhow cruises, and visits to local markets can all be arranged, or you may simply choose to do nothing at all and soak in the tropical atmosphere!
Departure Day
This day will be shaped by what time your flight departs Zanzibar. Some departures are early in the morning, if this is the case, we suggest staying in Stone Town the night before your flight, this is also a good choice for travelers interested in seeing and spending some time in Stone town.
Please note that this is a typical itinerary, and actual activities may vary due to weather conditions, local events, and to allow serendipity to play a hand in your experience. Accommodations are as outlined in the itinerary, although we reserve the right to change these or the order visited should the need arise.

SINGLE SUPPLEMENT: Accommodations are based on double occupancy. A single supplement is paid by participants who specifically request single accommodations, subject to availability.
Single Supplement for Scheduled Group Departures. If you reserve at least 120 days prior to departure, you may be eligible for a reduced or free single supplement. This is generally limited to the first one or two solo travelers to reserve, and the reduction is outlined in the pricing for each trip. Free or reduced single supplements are not combinable with other offers or promotions.
If you are traveling alone and wish to share accommodations, we will try to match you with a roommate of the same gender.

Single Supplement for Custom Tours. Custom Tour prices are generally based on two or more participants; therefore, single supplements for “solo” Custom Tours will vary and are available upon request.
