Day by day plan
- Day 1
Fly to Zanzibar
You fly Nairobi to Zanzibar in about 1 hour 30 minutes. A driver meets you at the airport and takes you to your hotel on the north coast, about an hour away. The staff greet you with a cool drink and a flower. Your room is decorated for the honeymoon. Walk on the sand at sunset.
- Day 2
Beach and couples massage
Sleep in and enjoy a long breakfast. The beach at Kendwa and Nungwi stays deep at all tides, so you can swim whenever you like. In the afternoon you have a one hour couples massage. Dinner is at the hotel, with a table by the sea.
- Day 3
Stone Town tour
A guide takes you to Stone Town, a UNESCO site of alleys, carved doors and rooftop cafes. You see the old market, the Forodhani gardens and a spice shop. We suggest a late lunch at a rooftop restaurant. You return to the beach for a rest before dinner.
- Day 4
Sunset dhow cruise
Keep the day free for the beach. In the late afternoon you board a dhow and sail along the coast as the sun sets. Soft drinks and snacks are served. Many couples take their best photos of the trip on this boat.
- Day 5
Private beach dinner
Tonight we reserve a candlelit table on the sand. The menu is fresh fish, lobster or local curry, depending on your tier. Wear light evening clothes. Walk the beach afterwards and watch the stars. Tonight is the one that most couples remember.

Fly home
Have a last breakfast and a swim. A driver takes you to the airport about two hours before your flight. You land in Nairobi the same day. Carry your marriage certificate and your passport and keep your yellow fever certificate with them.
