Stone Town vs. Nungwi Beach: How to Split Your Zanzibar Holiday

Zanzibar is a paradise of contrasts. To experience it fully, we recommend splitting your stay between the historic, UNESCO-listed Stone Town and the gorgeous beaches of Nungwi or Kendwa in the north.

Stone Town: Culture and Cuisine (2 Days)

Spend 1 or 2 nights winding through Stone Town’s limestone streets. Tour the Slave Market, visit Prison Island, and eat fresh seafood at the Forodhani Gardens Night Market.

Nungwi: Pure Relaxation (3-5 Days)

Head north to Nungwi, where the sand is white and the tide doesn't recede as dramatically. Perfect for swimming, diving, and watching spectacular sunset sails.
