A PLACE THAT STAYS WITH YOU

A new perspective.
A different feeling.

Stone Town, spice traditions and beaches with a rhythm of their own.

Unguja offers a contrast between the coast and Stone Town’s streets and seafront. Balance a particular excursion with time to experience the place at your own pace. Transport and activity times should be coordinated with your chosen hotel and the conditions on the day.

A stay in Unguja can be a focus in its own right or part of a wider Tanzania route. The right number of nights depends on your interests, the available connections and the amount of time you want to spend in each setting. We plan the route and accommodation together so that the journey feels connected rather than hurried.
