Itinerary
Day
1
Nairobi – Fly Zanzibar
Its
perfumed air caresses travelers with scents
of the spices that have grown in abundance
throughout the island since time began.
We board a flight in Nairobi or in Arusha
and we’re off to paradise with a
choice: a hotel with the exotic Stone
Town or a romantic beach resort outside
of town— both absolutely enchanting!

Old Town & Spice Plantations
The
day begins with breakfast and a serene
view over the Indian Ocean to the endless
horizon. A walking tour is the best way
to experience the town, which exists today
much as it did in the days when the “Isle
of Spices” was a great trading centre
known the world over for spices, timber
and slaves. The market place is alive
with vendors who hawk their exotic wares
in a multitude of languages, as many as
the intense palette of colors in their
fabrics and trinkets for sale.
As
we move away from the raucous market,
the winding streets grow serene and mysterious
with whitewashed houses, ornately carved
wooden doors and balconies studded with
brass. We visit the Zanzibar Museum and
Old Fort. Lunch is slow and relaxed, followed
by an afternoon spent visiting the plantations
where cinnamon, cardamom and strong Arabic
coffees are grown. And, of course, we
see the cloves—the gold of Zanzibar—
the world’s finest and most desired
spice.

Jozani Forest
There
are few places in the world where the
red Colobus monkey can be found, and this
morning we travel across the island through
quaint villages and lush vegetation to
just such a place—the enchanting
Jozani Forest. These Old World monkeys
leap acrobatically throughout the arboreal
canopy in troops of up to one hundred.
With extinction a distinct possibility,
they are a privilege to behold.

Zanzibar – Fly Nairobi
Today
brings a farewell to the island. Depending
upon flight times, which can vary being
in a splendidly far-flung outpost of civilization,
we may have time for one last trip to
the marketplace for that fantastically
carved teakwood chest or supply of intensely
scented pomanders as a heady reminder
of our sojourn in this ageless Swahili
paradise.
