Zanzibar tour packages offer the full spectrum of island experiences in one perfectly paced getaway: trace UNESCO-listed history through the labyrinth of Stone Town, breathe in clove and cardamom on a hands-on spice-plantation tour, and slip into the crystalline Indian Ocean for snorkelling off picture-postcard Mnemba Island—a hotspot for vibrant reefs and playful dolphins.
Balance culture with wildlife as you wander the primate-rich canopy of Jozani Forest or cruise to Prison Island to meet centuries-old giant tortoises, then trade exploration for barefoot bliss at an inviting east-coast beach resort where sunrise paints the lagoon turquoise. Whether you’re hunting market spices, photographing carved Zanzibar doors, diving coral gardens or sailing dhow-dotted horizons, this five-day Zanzibar tour package layers heritage, nature and pure island serenity into one endlessly rewarding escape.
Welcome to the spice-scented shores of Zanzibar! After clearing customs at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport you’ll transfer to your hand-picked Stone Town hotel (comfortable 3- or 4-star, ideal for a first night on your Zanzibar holiday). Drop your bags, refresh, and step straight into a living museum of Swahili, Arab, Persian and European influences.
Lose yourself in Stone Town’s labyrinth lanes, where carved teak doors and coral-rag walls whisper centuries of maritime trade.
Pause at the weathered ramparts of the Old Fort and climb its battlements for a panoramic harbour view.
Just next door, the majestic House of Wonders (Beit al-Ajaib) showcases Zanzibar’s pioneering role in East African history.
Meander onward to the buzzing Darajani Bazaar, a treasure trove of spices, tropical fruit and bright kanga fabrics—the perfect spot to practice a friendly “Jambo!” and inhale island aromas.
As the golden light fades, let the call to prayer mingle with distant dhow sails for a magical first taste of Zanzibar culture, architecture and timeless atmosphere.
Overnight Accommodation: 3 or 4 Star Hotel
Awake to the aroma of fresh cardamom coffee and set off on a curated guided tour of Stone Town, Zanzibar’s UNESCO-listed maze of coral-rag streets. With a local historian leading the way, you’ll trade modern traffic for dhows in the harbour and centuries-old whispers in shaded courtyards.
Bustling Bazaars & Spice Stalls – Navigate the vibrant Darajani Market where vanilla pods, clove garlands and swirling kanga fabrics define the island’s spice-trade legacy.
Iconic Landmarks – Step inside the grand House of Wonders (Beit al-Ajaib), tour the sultan’s former residence at the Palace Museum, and trace Omani defensive might along the weather-worn bastions of the Old Arab Fort.
Sacred Mosaic – Contrast soaring minarets with the Gothic spires of St Joseph’s Catholic Cathedral and the poignant Anglican Cathedral, built atop the old slave market—proof of Stone Town’s multi-faith tapestry.
Doorway Artistry – Pause often to admire Zanzibar’s legendary teak and brass-studded doors; swirling Arab calligraphy, Gujarati lotus blooms and Swahili star motifs each reveal who once lived within.
Hidden Courtyards & Rooftop Vistas – Duck into secret passageways where sunlight filters through mashrabiya screens, then climb to a rooftop café for sweeping views of dhows gliding across the aquamarine channel.
Throughout the morning your guide unpacks stories of spice tycoons, sultans, explorers and abolitionists, linking every cobblestone to a wider Indian Ocean saga. By the time the sea-breeze carries the clatter of lunch-time grills from Forodhani Gardens, you’ll understand why a Stone Town tour is considered the cultural heartbeat of any Zanzibar holiday.

• Blue-Glass Horizons – The dhow glides over an ocean so clear you can count starfish on the seabed.
• Dolphin Ballet – Look for silver arcs slicing the surface; soon playful clicks and chirps reach your ears. Camera shutters pause—sometimes everyone simply watches in quiet awe.
• Optional Dip – When your captain signals safe distance, confident swimmers slip into warm turquoise and float as dorsal fins twirl a few body-lengths away. Interaction is never forced; sometimes observation from the gunwale is the greater privilege.

When Zanzibar tour mornings begin with the gentle hush of the surf, you know you’re on island time. Your final day invites you to slow down—stroll barefoot along powdery white sands, snap one last photo of dhow sails gliding across turquoise waters, or simply float one more time in the warm, salty embrace of the Indian Ocean.
As your journey comes to an end, an Africa Moja Tours representative will meet you at reception, ready to make your departure effortless. Whether you’re heading to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport—just a smooth 15-minute drive away—or extending your stay elsewhere on the island, everything is taken care of.
With your luggage handled and check-in made easy, you’re free to soak in the last moments: the scent of spices still clinging to your skin, flashes of Stone Town’s stories, the rustle of red colobus monkeys in the trees, and that one perfect dolphin sighting you’ll never forget.
Thank you for letting us share Zanzibar’s beauty, soul, and rhythm with you. Wherever you go next, may the breeze carry a trace of clove to remind you of the island that stays with you long after you’ve left.
