Taking you on a journey around the world one story at a time

After visiting the island on two occasions, I have compiled a complete seven-day Zanzibar itinerary for you, inspired by my two visits to the island. I think seven days is the perfect amount of time for a trip on Zanzibar. I think seven days is enough to see the best of the island without being too overwhelmed. However, if you want to combine it with a safari trip in Tanzania or a hike up Kilimanjaro, you might not spend as much time on the island. I have curated a short version of a stay on Zanzibar at the end of this article.

When choosing places to go, I try to diversify the trips I take and go to new places. However, I’ve been back to Zanzibar several times which says a lot about how great it is as a destination.

Zanzibar is one of my absolute favourite places in Africa. As a destination, it has a lot to offer from a wide variety of activities, incredible culture and history and a beautiful island vibe and beaches. The list goes on and on.
