Activity Package
This is an optional additional payment that covers what we consider to be ‘essential activities’ on our tours and therefore this itinerary has been written with these items included in the day-by-day itinerary.  Ideally we would include all of these, but not everyone can afford this.

Day 1/2/3 Zanzibar
After meeting the guide and group we take a local ferry will take us from Dar es Salaam (where we leave the truck) to Zanzibar. We take a transfer to the northern part of the island where we will spend our time relaxing on the beach.  On the 3rd day, we head south to Stone Town, the capital of Zanzibar, where we will spend the night.  Here we have time exploring the historical and unique architecture.
