4 Days Zanzibar Spice Escape
Day 1: Arrival & Stone Town Discovery
Welcome to Zanzibar! Upon arrival, a representative from Revelation Adventure Safaris will warmly greet you and transfer you to your charming hotel in the heart of historic Stone Town. Begin your journey with a guided walking tour through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, where narrow alleys lead to spice-scented bazaars, grand Arab architecture, and cultural treasures like the House of Wonders, Sultan’s Palace, and the Old Slave Market. As evening falls, wander through Forodhani Gardens and enjoy local street food with breathtaking views over the Indian Ocean.
Day 2: Spice Plantation Tour & Jozani Forest Adventure
After breakfast, set off on an aromatic journey through one of Zanzibar’s famous spice farms. Taste, smell, and learn about cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and other local crops that made Zanzibar the Spice Island. You’ll also enjoy tropical fruits and insights from local farmers. In the afternoon, head to Jozani Forest to meet the rare red colobus monkeys and explore the lush greenery and mangrove boardwalks that make up this vibrant ecosystem. Later, transfer to your beach resort and unwind by the sea.
Day 3: Island Hopping – Prison Island & Nakupenda Sandbank
This morning, cruise across turquoise waters to Prison Island, home to giant Aldabra tortoises and remnants of colonial history. After exploring the island, continue your adventure to the dazzling Nakupenda Sandbank. Spend the day snorkeling, swimming, and soaking up the sun on soft white sands. A fresh seafood lunch awaits under shaded canopies, adding a delicious touch to your island escape. Return to your beach resort for a peaceful evening.
