DETAILED ITINERARY
Discover the Wonders of Jozani & Mangrove Forest
Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park, South Coast of Zanzibar - Tanzania
A member of our team will meet you at your place of stay in Zanzibar and accompany you to the renowned Jozani & Mangrove Forest. This enchanting forest, home to ancient trees that have stood for over a century, offers an immersive experience into Zanzibar’s rich natural heritage. As you walk under the dense canopy, your guide will introduce you to the forest’s unique ecosystem and fascinating wildlife, including the endangered Red Colobus Monkey — a species found only in Zanzibar. With its playful behavior and striking appearance, spotting this rare primate in its natural habitat is a highlight not to be missed.
The adventure continues through the tranquil Mangrove BoardWalks, where the forest meets the sea. Here, your guide will share the ecological importance of the mangrove habitat and reveal traditional uses of various plants for medicine, cooking, and crafts. As you stroll along the elevated paths, keep an eye out for small fish darting between the roots and brightly colored crabs scuttling across the Muddy Banks. This peaceful yet lively environment offers incredible photo opportunities and a deeper appreciation for Zanzibar’s natural beauty and biodiversity.
Unveiling the Mysteries of Kuza Cave
Kibigija Village, Jambiani, South Coast of Zanzibar - Tanzania
From the lush trails of Jozani Forest, your journey continues to Jambiani Village, where one of Zanzibar’s most spiritual and hidden treasures awaits — Kuza Cave. Tucked within a tranquil patch of jungle, this ancient limestone sinkhole spans 50 meters and holds a crystal-clear mineral Water Pool believed to have healing properties. Archaeological findings suggest that human and animal bones dating back to 2000 BC were once part of sacred rituals here, making Kuza Cave not only a natural wonder but also a place of deep cultural and spiritual significance for the local community.
As you descend into the cave, you'll be surrounded by dramatic rock formations, echoing silence, and filtered light reflecting off the pure, turquoise water. The experience of swimming in the cave’s natural pool is both serene and invigorating. It may take a moment to adjust to the cool temperature, but once you’re in, the water soothes your body and mind. Whether you're floating quietly or simply absorbing the energy of the surroundings, Kuza Cave leaves a lasting impression—one that connects nature, history, and healing in the heart of Jambiani.
Dining on the Sea: The Iconic Rock Restaurant
Michamvi, South Coast of Zanzibar - Tanzania
Next, we head to one of Zanzibar’s most iconic landmarks — The Rock Restaurant, a dining spot unlike any other. Perched on its own tidal rock just off Michamvi Pingwe beach, this tiny island restaurant is world-renowned for its spectacular location and unforgettable atmosphere. Surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, The Rock offers panoramic views that change with the tides accessible by foot at low tide and by boat during high tide. Don’t worry, we’ll have your table reserved in advance for a seamless experience.
Inside, the ambiance is as delightful as the scenery. The menu showcases Zanzibar’s finest flavors, with an emphasis on fresh seafood, locally sourced ingredients, and traditional Swahili-inspired dishes, all crafted with passion and served with island hospitality. Whether you’re indulging in grilled lobster, sipping a chilled wine, or simply soaking up the sea breeze, dining at The Rock is more than just a meal, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will leave you with unforgettable memories and breathtaking photos.
Sunset Vibes & Island Beats at Kae Funk Beach
Kae Beach, Michamvi, South Coast of Zanzibar - Tanzania
End your unforgettable day on the island with the ultimate beach experience at Kae Funk Sunset Beach Bar, located on the serene shores of Michamvi. Known for its laid-back energy and epic sunsets, Kae Funk is a magnet for both locals and travelers looking to unwind with style. As the sky transforms into fiery hues of orange and pink, DJs spin soulful, uplifting tracks with excellent sound quality that sets the perfect tone for the evening. Unlike the typical slow island pace, the bartenders here are friendly, fast, and full of good vibes — ready to serve you a refreshing cocktail as you sink your toes into the sand.
As night falls, the atmosphere shifts into something truly magical. Fire dancers and acrobats take the stage, delivering a show that’s energetic, mesmerizing, and full of local flair. A crackling bonfire invites guests to gather around, share stories, and enjoy the rhythm of island life long into the evening. While the food can vary depending on your order, the overall experience — sunset views, entertainment, music, and community spirit — makes Kae Funk an unforgettable final stop on your Zanzibar adventure.
