Zanzibar in 48 Hours: A Mini Island Guide

Short on time but big on beach dreams? Here’s how to squeeze the best of Zanzibar into two unforgettable days.

• Day 1 Morning: Arrive in Stone Town. Wander the narrow alleys, peek into old spice shops, and sample fresh sugarcane juice.
• Day 1 Afternoon: Hop on a boat to Prison Island for giant tortoises and a snorkel session.
• Day 1 Evening: Feast on seafood skewers at the Forodhani Gardens night market.
• Day 2 Morning: Transfer to Nungwi or Paje. Check into a beachfront bungalow and dig your toes into powder-white sand.
• Day 2 Afternoon: Try kitesurfing or a relaxed dhow cruise at sunset.
• Day 2 Evening: Savor coconut-infused Swahili curry under the stars.
