Travel Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive in Zanzibar
Welcome to Tanzania! Upon arrival at Zanzibar International Airport. Nestled in the sapphire waters of the Indian Ocean, this archipelago is the most beautiful island locale in East Africa. When you arrive at the airport on Zanzibar's main island, a personal driver will be waiting to drive you to your hotel in Stone Town, the capital's historic center. After checking in and unpacking, you'll have the remainder of the day to relax and unwind. Overnight will be in Tembo Hotel on bed and breakfast
Day 2
Stone Town Tour
Today you'll immerse yourself in the medieval history of Zanzibar and cap the day with a traditional Swahili dinner. The activities begin after breakfast with a guided walking tour of Stone Town. This is the city's historic center and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.
Stone Town is a lively mix of Arabic, African, Indian, and European cultures, all living side by side on its labyrinthine streets. This warren of alleyways, shops, bazaars, and mosques is home to some of Zanzibar's oldest and most historic buildings. One standout you'll visit is the Arab Fort, a defensive fortification built in the 17th century. You'll also see the 19th-century Sultan's Palace and Anglican Cathedral, as well as the solemn site of a former slave market.
Afterward, stimulate your senses with a visit to a countryside spice farm. This island has a long history of spice production dating to the 16th century, when it was a strategic trading post between Arabia and India. Zanzibar built massive wealth in the 19th century as a major producer of cloves (harvested by enslaved people) and today retains its nickname "Spice Island." You'll sample cloves and other aromatics on a farm tour like cinnamon and nutmeg. You'll also learn about the traditional uses of these spices, which are found in everything from incense to perfume. Then sit down to a farm-fresh lunch.
There's more delicious fun in store when you return to the city in time for a traditional dinner. Swahili cuisine is truly something special—a mix of Portuguese, Indian, and Arab influences seasoned to perfection with many of the same spices that have made Zanzibar famous. Carnivores will love the famous Swahili grilled meats and chicken samosas, while vegetarians can rejoice in the bean stews and spiced rice dishes.
Overnight will be in Tembo Hotel
Day 3
Zanzibar to Pemba Island
After breakfast, you'll transfer to the airport for the 30-minute flight north to Pemba Island, where you'll spend the remainder of the trip. When you arrive, a driver will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel, where you can settle in. Then feel free to head out and enjoy this unspoiled paradise. Because if you thought Zanzibar was incredible, wait until you see Pemba—it's regarded as the most beautiful of all the islands in this archipelago.
This jewel was dubbed El Huthera or "The Green" by early Omani sailors. Ever since, Pemba has managed to retain its laid-back charm and even today remains unspoiled by modern civilization. There are very few modes of transport and limited accommodations here, so expect the very definition of a rustic, barefoot beach holiday. You'll want to enjoy an aquatic activity. Pemba is one of Tanzania's top diving and snorkeling destinations, making it a playground for water lovers. For example, the Pemba Canal is located between Pemba and mainland Tanzania, which is 6,561-feet (2,000 m) deep and home to diverse sea life like barracuda, tuna, sharks, and even whales.
Pemba's pristine nature is another highlight. The white-sand beaches here are just as beautiful as they are on Zanzibar's main island. Also, the lack of infrastructure on Pemba, combined with the many clove, mango, and coconut groves lining green hills and fertile valleys, make this a huge draw for spiritualists and traditional healers.

Day 4-6
Pemba Optional Activities
Over the next couple of days, you can enjoy a wide range of activities. The clear waters and coral reefs around Pemba make this a top scuba destination. If you're a beginner, you can take a diving class led by seasoned experts to learn the fundaments. Or head out on a more casual snorkeling trip. Whatever you decide, you'll be treated to an underwater paradise teeming with exotic marine life that includes rays, turtles, puffers, clownfish, and even whale sharks. You may also get lucky and be able to swim alongside a pod of dolphins.
Kayaking is another great way to explore the coast around Pemba. Hop in a one or two-person kayak and paddle leisurely along the stunning white beaches. Or get on a stand-up paddleboard and traverse the waters with an expert guide alongside you. This area is also great for fishing. The Zanzibar-Pemba channel is home to six different types of billfish, plus you can reel in trophies such as yellowfin tuna, wahoo, king mackerel, barracuda, and marlin.
