Fly to the spice island of Zanzibar. Situated off the northern coast of Tanzania and surrounded by the tranquil Indian Ocean, this tropical island is the perfect conclusion to any safari. The Zanzibar Serena Hotel, our home for the next three (3) nights, is located in Stone Town, overlooking the Indian Ocean.
The day begins with breakfast and a spectacular view over the Indian Ocean. A walking tour is the best way to experience the Old Town, which exists today much as it did in the days when the “Isle of Spices” was a great trading center known the world over for spices, timber and slaves. As we move away from the market, the winding streets grow serene and mysterious with whitewashed houses, ornately carved wooden doors and balconies studded with brass. We visit the Zanzibar Museum and the Old Fort. After lunch we experience an afternoon of exploring the plantations where cinnamon, cardamom and strong, flavorful Arabic coffees are grown. And, of course, we see the cloves—the gold of Zanzibar—the world’s finest and most desired spice. Overnight Zanzibar Serena Hotel.
There are few places in the world where the red Colobus monkey can be found. Here is one of them. After breakfast we travel across the island through quaint villages and lush vegetation to the enchanting Jozani Forest. We enjoy the Jozani Forest where we have wonderful opportunities to see Old World monkeys leap acrobatically throughout the arboreal canopy in troops of up to a hundred creatures.

Zuri Zanzibar opened its doors on 1st May 2018! It is situated on the north shores of Zanzibar, within the Kendwa area of the island. The resort may be situated on arguably the island’s finest non-tidal beach, but this new luxury resort is set to make all sorts of big waves. The resort is owned and operated by Design Hotels, whose portfolio comprises a staggering 284 properties worldwide, all aiming to provide authentic experiences.
Overview
55 bungalows, suites, and villas, all close to a non-tidal beach
The local inspiration extends to Zuri Zanzibar’s cuisine as well, with seven restaurants and bars highlighting the island’s diverse flavors. Traditional African dishes receive a tropical twist at Upendo, the main restaurant serving fresh shrimp and other seafood seasoned with local spices from the four-acre Zuri Garden, while sundowners—a nod to the safari tradition of mainland Tanzania—are served at the laidback bar overlooking Kendwa beach.
Beyond its stylish beachfront, the Zuri—whose name means “beautiful” in Swahili—is an ideal jumping-off point for island explorations. The resort’s guided tours include snorkeling with turtles near Mnemba Island, swimming with dolphins in Menai Bay, and tracking the rare red colobus monkey in the Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park.
