Three nights on the beach at Kendwa, with a snorkel at Mnemba and a day in Stone Town.
Zanzibar is Tanzania’s island, with white sand, warm water and a centuries-old Swahili town. This short escape stays on the beach at Kendwa, on the north-west coast, where the sea is calm and the sunsets are famous.
There is time to do nothing on the sand, a snorkel trip to the reefs of Mnemba, and a day in Stone Town, to walk the old lanes and taste the spices.
