Zanzibar Package – 8 Days / 7 Nights
This eight-day Zanzibar package is a relaxed island holiday based around seven nights at Azao Spa & Resort on a half-board plan. It is designed for travelers who want enough time to enjoy the beach while still having space for classic Zanzibar experiences such as Stone Town, spice farms, snorkeling, and sunset sailing.
The itinerary keeps a comfortable pace. Rather than filling every day with excursions, it alternates guided activities with open beach time so guests can rest, swim, read, enjoy the resort, or add optional water sports. This makes it suitable for solo travelers, couples, friends, and guests combining Zanzibar with a safari.
Excursions can be upgraded or reduced depending on budget. Stone Town, spice tours, Prison Island, Jozani Forest, and reef snorkeling are natural fits for this duration.
The highlights.
- Seven nights half-board at Azao Spa & Resort
- Stone Town UNESCO heritage guided walk and spice farm
- Prison Island giant tortoises and reef snorkeling
- Sunset dhow cruise and Jozani Forest nature walk
8 days, 7 nights of adventure.
