7-Day Dar es Salaam & Zanzibar Cultural & Beach Adventure
This itinerary goes beyond the beach — from Dar es Salaam you cross by ferry to Zanzibar and spend five days going deep into Stone Town's alleyways, a spice plantation, the canopy of Jozani Forest, the daily life of a coastal fishing village and the open ocean in search of dolphins. It's the kind of trip you'll talk about for years.

Your journey, clearly mapped
Everything you need to know
Day 1
Arrival in Dar es Salaam — Leisure & Pre-Trip Briefing
- • Our representative meets you at Julius Nyerere International Airport and transfers you to your hotel for a free afternoon to acclimatise, before the group gathers in the evening for a pre-trip briefing on the days ahead.
Day 2
Ferry to Zanzibar — First Steps into Stone Town
- • After breakfast, take the roughly two-hour ferry across to Zanzibar, where you're met and transferred to your Stone Town accommodation for a free afternoon to wander the old town's streets. Stone Town's iconic streets, Zanzibar's turquoise coastline and the timeless sight of dhows on the harbour
Day 3
Stone Town Cultural Discovery
- • A full guided day through Stone Town — the House of Wonders, Palace Museum and Arab Fort in the morning, then the carved-door backstreets, Darajani Market and the Anglican Cathedral in the afternoon. Jozani Forest — Home of the Red Colobus Monkey The Zanzibar Red Colobus is found nowhere else on Earth, and Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park protects its last significant population. A walk through the canopy to see them at close range — followed by the quiet mangrove boardwalk — is one of the island's most memorable experiences.
Day 4
Spice Tour, Jozani Forest & Transfer to the Beach
- • A full day inland to coast — a morning spice-farm tour with a host-served lunch, then south to Jozani-Chwaka Bay for the Red Colobus Monkeys before transferring to your beach resort by late afternoon. Jozani's forest interior and Zanzibar's quiet east coast beaches — two very different sides of the same island
Day 5
Jambiani Cultural Village Experience
- • Spend the day in Jambiani, a traditional fishing village on the quiet east coast — meet a local herbalist, walk with the women tending their seaweed farms at low tide, and visit small organic plantations.
Day 6
Dolphin Safari in Kizimkazi & Afternoon Leisure
- • An early dhow trip from Kizimkazi in search of resident bottlenose and humpback dolphins, back by mid-morning for lunch and a completely free afternoon. Optional: Sunset sundowner experience — additional cost.
