This enormous crater, approximately 19 km in diameter and 8,292 square kilometers, is home to thousands of species.

In Zanzibar you will have 4 days to rest Absolutely on the beach, but if you want, there are plenty of activities to do. It's not a trip that requires physical exertion.
Traveling in Tanzania is not like going to the Four Seasons in Paris... you're in Africa and things can happen like: encounters with animals you don't have at home, the internet being weak or not working, the air conditioning being broken, the shower water not having as much pressure and heat as your shower, the food not being as good as your mother's, etc... but thankfully everything is different, if it were the same it wouldn't be worth leaving home.
Also, we don't promise good weather; sometimes it rains, the seas are rough, and it's important to be aware that there may be changes to the itinerary, but what would a trip be without adventure?! If you invite a friend to join the tour, it's crucial that you inform them of this information.
