What makes this trip special

Ten days lets you split your stay — a few nights in Stone Town for culture, then the north coast for beach — so you see the real range of the island rather than one resort.

Tips

Good to know

Consider a two-base split (Stone Town + Nungwi). Ramadan affects opening hours in Stone Town. A yellow-fever certificate is required from the mainland.
