  • DAY 1Arrival — Zanzibar Airport

    Welcome to the beautiful spice island of Zanzibar, where the culture is rich and history abounds. You'll be met at Zanzibar Airport by a Chagga Village representative and driven to your accommodation, where we'll get you started with an introductory briefing before you head out to begin the trip you've been dreaming of.

    ACCOMMODATION
    Tembo House Hotel & Apartments — Stay right by the water in Zanzibar's Stone Town. Traditional decorations throughout give this place a real sense of local character. Watch the wooden dhows in the water just off the hotel's beach, swim in the pool, and dine well in the restaurant.
