Itinerary
Upon arrival in Zanzibar, transfer to Allbatros Ocean view Resort. Check in and have your meal. Relax at the resort as you prepare fo your adventure the following day.
Have morning breakfast and start your trip. Visit significant sites such as the House of Wonders (Beit-al-Ajaib), the Old Fort (Ngome Kongwe), and the Sultan's Palace (Beit el-Sahel). Discover the Anglican Cathedral, built on the site of the former slave market, and the Peace Memorial Museum. A short boat ride from Stone Town will take you to Prison Island, offering scenic views of the coastline. Explore the remnants of the prison that was built in the 1890s but never actually used for its intended purpose of housing violent criminals. Instead, it became a quarantine station for yellow fever patients.
The Safari Blue trip is one of Zanzibar’s most popular excursions, offering a full-day adventure around the beautiful waters of Menai Bay. This tour includes snorkeling, swimming, dolphin spotting, and a delicious seafood feast on a picturesque island. The first stop is a prime snorkeling spot where you can explore the vibrant underwater world. Swim among colorful fish and coral formations. Snorkeling gear is provided, and guides are available to assist you. Continue sailing to areas known for dolphin activity. With a bit of luck, you may encounter bottlenose and humpback dolphins swimming and playing in their natural environment. After lunch, explore Kwale Island’s famous 500-year-old baobab tree and visit a natural lagoon for a relaxing swim. The calm, shallow waters make it perfect for a leisurely dip. Head back to your resort in the evening.
Enjoy the resort's pristine private beach, where you can swim in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean or sunbathe on the soft white sand. Engage in various water sports offered by the resort, such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and windsurfing. Equipment is usually available for rent. Lounge by the resort's infinity pool, taking in the stunning ocean views while sipping on a refreshing cocktail. Savor delicious meals at the resort’s restaurant, featuring a mix of local Zanzibari cuisine and international dishes. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy a romantic dinner by the beach.
