Why We Love This Flexible Zanzibar Itinerary
Zanzibar is an island meant to be explored slowly, letting your senses guide you. This 7-Day Private Zanzibar Tour recognizes that need for freedom.
Unlike rigid packages, we provide the framework of the island’s best experiences, from the spice markets to the cliffs of Mtende Beach, but your private driver and schedule mean we adjust the when and the how on the fly.
This balance of curated activities and high flexibility is the Ekuseni promise, ensuring your trip is relaxing and truly personal.
Your Zanzibar Trip, Day by Day
Day 1: Arrival & Nungwi Beach Private Transfer
Welcome to Zanzibar! Our team provides a private airport transfer on the scenic route to your resort in Nungwi. Settle in and enjoy the tropical air. If you arrive early, the evening is reserved for a flexible Sunset Dhow Cruise from the northern beaches; if not, you have time to rest and we’ll easily move the cruise to Day 2 or 3.
Day 2: Dolphin Spotting, Mnemba Atoll & Kendwa Beach Sunset
Rise early for a private boat trip to look for dolphins and enjoy swimming/snorkeling near the famous Mnemba Atoll Area. In the afternoon, enjoy a close encounter with sea turtles at The Lagoons. We end the day at legendary Kendwa Beach, known for its powdery sand and unforgettable sunset views. Note: If Day 1’s cruise was skipped, we will sail the Sunset Dhow Cruise from Kendwa this evening.
Day 3: Spice Farm Tour & Transfer to Historic Stone Town
Enjoy your final breakfast in Nungwi before we begin the private transfer south. First, we stop for a Spice Farm Tour, where you’ll see, touch, and taste the heart of the island. In the afternoon, we check into your hotel in Historic Stone Town. The evening is yours to wander the winding alleyways and find a charming rooftop dinner spot.
Day 4: Prison Island & Stone Town Cultural Tour
Today focuses on history and culture. A private boat takes you to Prison Island to meet the giant Aldabra tortoises. Back in town, your local expert leads a detailed Stone Town Cultural Tour. We explore the intricate carved doors, the bustling markets, and historical landmarks, customizing the pace to your interest.
Day 5: Southern Gems: Mtende Beach & Jozani Forest
We take a day trip south, combining adventure with nature. We visit the breathtaking Mtende Beach, a hidden gem known for its dramatic cliffs and natural swimming pool. After lunch with a view, we lead you into the serene Jozani Forest, the last remaining sanctuary of the playful Zanzibar Red Colobus monkeys.
Day 6: Safari Blue Marine Adventure (Full Day)
Today is dedicated to the ocean and the ultimate island excursion: the famous Safari Blue Tour. We set sail on a dhow for snorkeling in crystal-clear waters and a delicious seafood barbecue feast on a pristine sandbank. Enjoy the sunset sail back, completing a day of pure bliss.
Day 7: Farewell, for Now
Your 7-Day Private Zanzibar Tour concludes. Our team will provide a private transfer to Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ) or the harbor for your onward journey.
