Rift Valley Adventure - Family Holiday

Today is left free for you to explore the area at your own pace. Zanzibar’s Stone Town is a fascinating place to wander around; every twist and turn of the crumbling alleyways presents you with something of interest. From the Beit-el-Ajaib, or House of Wonders, formerly the Sultan’s palace, to the striking structures of the Arab fort and St. Joseph’s Cathedral, the town has an air of intrigue and history. The town has a multitude of mosques - 50 in all - as well as reminders of Zanzibar’s more sinister past as a large slave centre. There are also hints of a British presence - the National Museum houses artefacts from the British colonial period and Livingstone’s base for his last expedition has been preserved. (B)

This morning you head to your beach resort, set on the shoreline of the sparkling Indian Ocean. You have four free days to do as you please on this island, renowned for its beautiful beaches. White coral-sand shores are protected by the offshore coral reef and offer excellent fishing and snorkelling. The reefs are peppered with colourful sponges, sea slugs and a wealth of fish - from small anemone to clouds of damselfish. Dolphins are often seen along this coastline. A half-day spice tour (optional) is a good way to see the island's lush interior or perhaps try some deep sea fishing.
