A short break that stays on Zanzibar the whole time. After flying in, the first nights are spent in or near Stone Town, with time to walk the old quarter, eat at the evening food market and visit a spice farm. The rest of the stay moves to a beach on the north or east coast for swimming, boat trips or rest. Road transfers on the island are short, so very little time goes to travel.

The route, stop by stop

1. Zanzibar, Tanzania · 4 nights

Arrive by fly — Fly into Zanzibar, then a short road transfer

Town and beach are on the same island, so the nights can be split between the two without long transfers.
