- Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park - Immerse yourself in the verdant beauty of Zanzibar at Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, the island’s sole national park and a paradise for nature enthusiasts.
Guided by an experienced local, stroll beneath the towering canopy of the tropical forest and explore three distinct ecosystems: swamp forest, coral rag forest, and mangrove boardwalks. A highlight of your visit will be the opportunity to see the rare red colobus monkeys, an endangered species unique to Zanzibar. These lively primates are notably sociable and often seen leaping through the trees just a few meters away.
You’ll also discover:
Mangrove boardwalks where you’ll learn how mangroves protect the coastline
Medicinal plants and ancient trees, rich in local lore
Birds, butterflies, and other native wildlife unique to the forest
This serene and shaded nature walk provides a refreshing contrast to the island’s beaches and a deeper connection to Zanzibar’s biodiversity.
- Jambo Spice Farm - Enter the fragrant world of Zanzibar’s countryside with a guided tour of a traditional spice plantation. Known as the Spice Island, Zanzibar has been a key center of spice production for centuries—and this immersive visit reveals why.
During your walk through the lush farm, you’ll see how tropical spices grow in their natural environment. A local guide will introduce you to the flavors, fragrances, and uses of fresh spices like:
Cloves
Cardamom
Lemongrass
Nutmeg
Vanilla
Cinnamon
️ Turmeric and more
You’ll get to smell, touch, and even taste the spices and tropical fruits directly from the plants. Some farms also feature coconut tree climbing demonstrations and opportunities to buy fresh spices or handmade spice blends to take home.
It’s an enlightening and deliciously aromatic experience that connects you to Zanzibar’s rich agricultural heritage.
- Prison Island Zanzibar - Embark on a short boat ride from Stone Town to Prison Island, locally known as Changuu Island—one of Zanzibar’s most iconic and picturesque offshore retreats.
Originally intended as a detention center in the 19th century, the island never fulfilled its original purpose. Today, it’s renowned as the home of giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 100 years old. You’ll have the chance to walk among these gentle giants, feed them, and learn about their conservation.
During your visit, you’ll also explore:
️ The historic prison ruins and quarantine buildings
Beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters
Optional snorkeling opportunities in the coral-rich shallows
This stop offers a captivating blend of colonial history, wildlife encounters, and coastal beauty, making it a highlight of any Zanzibar adventure.
- Nakupenda Beach Nature Reserve - Just a short boat ride from Stone Town lies Nakupenda, which means “I love you” in Swahili—and it’s easy to see why. This stunning white-sand sandbank, surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters, is one of Zanzibar’s most breathtaking natural treasures.
You’ll arrive by boat after visiting Prison Island, where you’ll have time to:
Swim, sunbathe, and relax on soft, powdery sands
Enjoy optional snorkeling in vibrant shallow waters
️ Savor a fresh seafood lunch (or Swahili feast) served right on the sand
Capture incredible 360° views of the Indian Ocean
The sandbank disappears with the tide, making it a truly magical and temporary escape into nature—perfect for couples, families, or anyone wanting to unwind in paradise.
- Stone Town - Meander through the winding alleys of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the cultural heart of Zanzibar. This historic coastal city is a fascinating blend of Swahili, Arab, Indian, and European influences—reflected in its architecture, markets, and way of life.

️ The Old Slave Market Museum – a powerful and moving site that tells the story of Zanzibar’s role in the East African slave trade
The Old Fort and House of Wonders
Historic mosques and cathedrals
️ Bustling local markets and spice stalls
Traditional Zanzibari doors with intricate carvings
