Zanzibar and the reef
Three or four barefoot days on the Zanzibar coast, with a reef to snorkel.
About Zanzibar and the reef
Stone Town takes half a day on foot, through the market lanes and out to a working spice farm. The rest is the reef, with a boat out to Mnemba Atoll for snorkelling over coral and, with luck, turtles. We schedule it last, because a short flight from Arusha puts you on the sand the day you leave the bush.
