Where the safari ends and the ocean begins.
Zanzibar is an archipelago 25 kilometres off the Tanzanian coast. The main island, Unguja, has a history shaped by its position at the intersection of the monsoon trade wind routes: Omani Arab, Persian, Indian, and Portuguese all left architectural and cultural traces.
Stone Town — Zanzibar City's historic core — is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Old Fort, the Sultan's Palace, the House of Wonders, and the narrow lane network constitute one of the finest urban heritage walks in East Africa.
The transition from the Northern Circuit to Zanzibar is one of the most pleasurable moments in any Tanzania itinerary. Charter aircraft from Kilimanjaro delivers you in 40 minutes. From the Serengeti's dust to the Indian Ocean's blue horizon.
GAPI's Zanzibar arrangements include accommodation through a curated villa network, marine permits for Mnemba Atoll, Stone Town guided walks, spice farm visits, dhow sailing at sunset, and all transfers. Every element under a single GAPI contact.
