Sunday, July 16 – Welcome to Zanzibar

Upon arrival in Arusha, connect on our group flight to Zanzibar.  We will be met and transferred to old town for an afternoon spice tour.  Prepared to have your senses awakened as you visit spice plantations where you’ll have the opportunity to pick, smell and savor the fruits and spices that you have most likely never seen on the shelves at your supermarket. Visit the rural areas where local farmers live and produce some of the world’s most exotic fruits and spices.  Cloves, star fruit, tangerine trees, lemon grass, mangosteen and lip-stick trees are but some of the produce you can expect to see. Later, we’ll transfer to our resort for the evening and enjoy a group dinner, while listening to the lapping waves of the Indian Ocean. (D)

Monday, July 17 – Zanzibar

After breakfast at our resort hotel, enjoy a morning of leisure where you can enjoy the beach, looking out over the most gorgeous water, or enjoy the pool, spa or take a walk around the lush property.  In the afternoon, we’ll head over to Stone Town and begin with a visit to Zanzibar’s colorful market, alive with the buzz of locals bartering fresh vegetables, baskets of tropical fruit and other wares. While the call of muezzins beckon one to prayer, the market stalls buzz with the trading of leather work, wood carvings, fruits and spices. Walking though the narrow streets of Stone Town, this UNESCO World Heritage Site winds between tall buildings to open unexpectedly into dazzling sunlit squares. We’ll continue to the site of a cathedral built in 1874 which symbolizes a time in Zanzibar’s history and stands on the sight of a past slave market.  Slavery was abolished in 1873 by decree of the Sultan of Zanzibar. From here, we’ll visit the residence of the late Sultan of Zanzibar at the Tip Tip House, then visit the Old Fort, “People’s Palace” and the “House of Wonders.” After, we’ll look out over the rooftops of Stone Town and toast the day as we watch the sun set into the horizon.  This evening, we’ll return to our resort for dinner.

Today’s lunch is one you will never forget at The Rock, known for its world-famous iconic location along Zanzibar’s south-east coastline, fabulous food and character, inspired by natural resources which provides a stage set for an extraordinary experience.  After, we’ll return to our resort for the rest of the day and evening to enjoy the serene beauty.
