How many beach days to plan, which coast to choose and the experiences worth leaving the sun lounger for.
After early mornings and dusty game drives, a few days on Zanzibar is the perfect way to unwind before flying home.
How long to stay
Three to five nights is a good balance for most travellers: enough time to relax on the beach and still explore Stone Town and the island's spice farms.
What to do
Wander the historic alleys of Stone Town, visit a spice farm, sail on a traditional dhow at sunset or go snorkelling on the reefs. Or simply do nothing at all.
