Two nights in the old town and two on the beach: lanes, spices and tortoises, then the sea.
This is the full Zanzibar introduction. You begin in Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage old town of narrow lanes, carved doors and old merchant houses, with a spice tour and a trip to Prison Island to see the giant tortoises. You then move to the beach for two nights of sea and sand.
The mix of culture and rest suits couples and families, and it works well at the end of a safari.
