Package overview
Everything you need to know before you go, all on Zanzibar (Unguja).
Every night is on Zanzibar Island. This week-long version adds a relaxed beach buffer day and a deeper look at central Unguja before you settle into Kendwa's turquoise shallows. Still no mainland Tanzania leg: purely local boats and road transfers.
