5 Days, 4 Nights
On arrival at Zanzibar’s Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, you will be met by our driver who will take you on the short 20-minute transfer to your hotel in Stone Town, the historic quarter of Zanzibar City. You have the evening at leisure and your evening meal will be provided by your hotel.
A full- 5 star experience, beachside by the Indian ocean – that’s what is offered at this sumptuous, elegant, medium-sized hotel in Stone Town. Light and bright, with spacious bedrooms, generous outdoor spaces and a stylish courtyard, the hotel references the island’s rich history in its modern architecture.
You can choose to swim in the stunning infinity pool, with views over the Indian Ocean, enjoy the spa (at extra cost), work out in the fitness room or simply kick back on a sun lounger and soak up the rays.
When it comes to dining, the hotel’s Zamani Residence concept truly excels, composed of a variety of terraced restaurants drawing on influences from Indian, Arabic and continental cuisine, as well as offering fish caught locally.
Meal Plan
Dinner tonight will be served at Park Hyatt Zanziba
This morning you will enjoy breakfast at your hotel, before meeting our expert local guide for a tour of fascinating Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Over the centuries, many cultures have left their impressions on Zanzibar and it is perhaps in Stone Town where you can most easily see their influences. Your guide will lead you first to the colourful market, awash with exotic smells and buzzing with bartering locals. Afterwards, you will visit the calm of the 19th C cathedral, built on the former site of the slave market after the 1873 abolition of slavery.
As you wander the narrow streets and alleys, you’ll pass the Arab houses with their inner courtyards, hidden behind heavy doors. You can compare their style with the Indian residences, adorned with balustrades and metal railings. Amongst the town’s historic sites are the ‘Tip Tip House,’ the Old Fort and the People’s Palace Museum. Lunch will be taken at the Silk Route Indian rooftop restaurant, with views to the ocean. The Silk Route is full of character, so enjoy the excellent cuisine, perhaps washing it down with a cocktail. After the tour, we will transfer you to your chosen beach hotel for your dinner, an evening at leisure and the remainder of your stay.
Melia Zanzibar is situated on the island’s northeast coast, next to 300 metres of bright white sands which fringe the gorgeous, clear waters of the Indian Ocean. A coral reef shelters the bay, providing excellent swimming. An all-inclusive resort-style hotel, the grounds of the property incorporate lush gardens while the resort offers a range of beautiful and spacious rooms, villas and bungalows. Some accommodations enjoy ocean views. The Melia Zanzibar offers no fewer than five restaurants and four bars, allowing alfresco or indoor dining, formal or more relaxed, as well as cuisines that range from Arabian through Indian to African. A sumptuous spa can pamper guests in delightful surroundings, with a huge menu of massage, treatments and therapies (extra cost), all provided by skilled professionals. Two outdoor pools and a fitness center, plus a variety of land and water-based activities are also available.

Tipping: Tipping is of course discretionary but is an expected part of the way in which business is done in Tanzania. It counts as an expression of gratitude to those who – hopefully – have made your experience an unforgettable one and enables you to directly reward those people. Our passengers come from all around the world, with different cultural attitudes to tipping, but a tip is of great significance here in Tanzania and will be hugely appreciated by the recipient. We know that the act of giving of a tip can be a bit awkward and we would suggest that the best way to remove this ‘awkwardness’ is for each couple to put their tip anonymously into an envelope and for the envelopes to be presented by the couple to the staff member. As a guideline, you should consider tipping at the following levels:
Local Guide: $25 US per day, per couple.
Transfer Driver: $15 US per day, per couple.For hotels/lodges/tented camps, please do not tip individual staff members, but instead use the ‘Tip Box’, which you should find at the reception of your accommodation. For guidance, you should consider tipping between $5-7 US per day, per guest, at each accommodation.
