Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need a safari beforehand to justify visiting Zanzibar?
Not at all — Zanzibar stands entirely on its own as a destination, with enough history, culture and beach to fill a full week without ever leaving the island.
Could we skip Stone Town entirely and just do beach?
Yes, see our pure Zanzibar Beach Extension package if you’d rather skip the cultural days; this itinerary is specifically built for travellers who want both evenly.
