2 Days 1 Night Zanzibar Island Flying Holiday

2 Days 1 Night Zanzibar Island Fly-in holiday from Nairobi is a short beach holiday to Zanzibar Island. Zanzibar is located in the Indian Ocean, about 25 miles from the Tanzanian coast, and 6° south of the equator. The City of Zanzibar is on the largest island, Unguja.

Zanzibar Island (known locally as Unguja, but as Zanzibar internationally) is 60 miles long and 20 miles wide, occupying a total area of approximately 650 square miles. It is characterized by beautiful sandy beaches with fringing coral reefs, and the magic of historic Stone Town – said to be the only functioning ancient town in East Africa.

Our short fly-in holiday allows you to choose how much or how little you want to do in Zanzibar.  This short Zanzibar Beach Resort Holiday starts with a flight from Nairobi to Zanzibar. Upon arrival at the international airport near Zanzibar City, your driver greets you and transfers you to your idyllic Zanzibar beach resort.

Arriving at the beach resort, it’s time to kick off your shoes and get into the holiday mood. Settle into your spacious, en-suite chalet with a balcony overlooking the gardens. The beach resort caters to all tastes with watersports, land-based activities, and plenty of amenities. (Note: activities are at an extra cost)

You can catch an evening walk on the beach and maybe swim in the Indian Ocean or even unwind at the resort’s pool and lounge bars or retire to your comfortable room.

On day 2, after breakfast, you can explore more of Zanzibar Island by taking a spice tour or visiting the old quarter of Zanzibar City, called Stone Town, which is well worth a visit. Explore this historic town of winding alleys, a bustling market, fascinating architecture, and beautifully carved and decorated doors to discover more about the island’s fascinating history.

After lunch, your driver collects you from the beach resort and drives you back to the airport, where this short and surprisingly cheap Zanzibar vacation finishes.

Stone Town City Tour by Foot

Spice Tour Half-Day Trip

This is a guided walking tour that introduces you to Zanzibar spices, an essential part of everyday life.

A walk through villages and spice plantations enables you to see spice farm workers climb trees, seek out specific plants, and cut off various barks, letting you see, feel, and taste everything.

The tour includes a traditional Swahili lunch. Buy fresh spices while visiting the spice farms.

Chumbe Island Coral Park (CHICOP)

Visit an award-winning private nature reserve that includes a fully protected coral reef sanctuary, a forest reserve that harbors rare and endangered animals, a visitor and education center, a small eco-lodge, nature trails, and historical ruins.

The sanctuary has more than 200 pieces of pristine coral, about 400 species of fish, and turtles & dolphins that regularly pass by.

Local Game Fishing: Forget fishing in a modern fishing vessel with the latest in reels and rods and a fighting chair as well! We offer you the unique opportunity to sail out to sea with a Zanzibar fisherman and show you what ‘fishing for a living’ is really all about.

We will equip you with simple fishing gear, and locals are even catching kingfish, yellowfin tuna, barracuda, and grouper. A real adventure!

Deep-Sea Fishing

The spice island of Zanzibar is home to some of the best big game and deep-sea fishing opportunities in the Indian Ocean. This deep-sea fishing in Zanzibar is located at the northern tip of Nungwi, a fishing village that is a fishing ground in Zanzibar.

We fish by trolling a combination of lures, natural dead baits (Ballyhoo or strips), or live bait. The boats are available for half-day or full-day charters.

Jozani Forest Tour

This forest is one of the last remaining sanctuaries for the red colobus monkey. At Jozani, you will also visit the Mangrove swamp and walk around the Mangrove forest. Jozani has an excellent nature trail, and the guides are well-trained and informative.

A walk through this impressive flora and fauna is one of Zanzibar’s highlights.  It is easy to combine this trip with the Jambiani Village Tour or the Spice Tour.

Sandbank Picnic

Full-day dhow excursion which includes sailing, snorkeling, and swimming. The tour departs Stone Town and sails to Bawe Island for snorkeling with a guide to see the stunning array of coloured corals and tropical fish of the islands. Then sail to a sandbank for lunch.

Afterward, relax and swim around the sandbank before sailing back to Stone Town. This tour departs at 0900 Hours and returns at 1500 Hours.

Unguja Ukuu Boat Trip

Unguja Ukuu is the name of the village, for now, a place where Zanzibar’s tourists rarely, if ever, set foot.

This boat trip begins in Unguja Ukuu village, far off the tourists’ tracks, visiting uninhabited islands, Miwi and Nianembe, or Kwale, in the protected Menai Bay, to see the unique flora and fauna of Zanzibar’s tropical islands.

The boat ride is 45 minutes from the beach. You stand a chance of spotting dolphins here – but it’s not guaranteed. The trip includes sunbathing, beach relaxation, swimming, and snorkeling.

Prison Island Half-Day Boat Trip

This tour lets you visit a former slave prison and a quarantine station for Zanzibar and the mainland.

It is also a great way to see wildlife, learn some history, and see Stone Town from the sea, as many old maritime legends would have done.

Once on the island, you have the opportunity to feed and pet the tortoises; if you have time, you may also like to take a stroll through the forested interior, where you will see a wide variety of birds, colorful peacocks, bats, and beautiful butterflies.

Zanzibar Cultural Day Tours
