From summit to sea

The Indian Ocean, once the hard part is done. Most people finish their Tanzania trip here, and nobody regrets it.

Karibu.Welcome.

Most of our climbers and safari travellers end their trip on Zanzibar, and it shows: a short flight from Arusha or the Serengeti, and the mountain or the bush is behind you. Stone Town, the spice farms and the east coast beaches each suit a different kind of traveller, we ask which one sounds like you before we book anything. On its own, as the second half of a climb, or after a safari, it is arranged the same way as everything else we do.

Bush to beach

After the climb

You will be tired in a way that is hard to explain. A week on the coast is the right kind of nothing.

After the safari

A short flight from the Serengeti or Arusha, and you are on the other side of the country by lunchtime.

Or on its own

Stone Town, the spice farms and the water. We arrange it the same way we arrange everything else.

What you can do there

We arrange these through island partners as part of your trip. Pick two or three; leave the rest of the days empty on purpose.

Stone Town

The old trading town: alleys, carved doors, the market, and a history that deserves a guide.

Spice farm tour

Clove, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper, an hour or two among the trees they grow on.

Snorkelling at Mnemba

The clearest water and the busiest reef most guests will ever swim over.

Sunset dhow cruise

An easy evening under sail. Take it slow.

Jozani Forest

A gentle walk to the red colobus monkeys that live only on Zanzibar.

Kitesurfing at Paje

Lessons in a shallow lagoon on the east coast, for first-timers and addicts alike.
