A 9-day Zanzibar beach holiday from Arusha and Moshi is a wonderful way to enjoy Tanzania’s beautiful coastline after spending time on the mainland. Zanzibar is known for its white sandy beaches, clear turquoise water, historic Stone Town, tropical islands, and warm coastal weather. Whether you have just completed a Kilimanjaro climb, finished a wildlife safari, or simply want a relaxing beach holiday, Zanzibar offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the Indian Ocean.
This nine-day holiday combines beach relaxation with some of Zanzibar’s most popular attractions. You will explore the narrow streets of Stone Town, discover the island’s famous spices, visit Prison Island, enjoy a boat excursion to nearby sandbanks, and spend several days relaxing along Zanzibar’s northern and eastern beaches. The itinerary provides enough time to experience the island without rushing from one attraction to another.
For travelers starting their journey in Arusha or Moshi, reaching Zanzibar is relatively straightforward. You can travel to the airport for a domestic flight to Zanzibar, where your driver will meet you and transfer you to your hotel. Flight schedules and departure airports depend on availability and your confirmed travel arrangements.

Why Choose a 9-Day Zanzibar Beach Holiday?
Spending nine days in Zanzibar gives you enough time to explore the island while still enjoying several days of relaxation. Shorter holidays often require travelers to choose between sightseeing and spending time at the beach. With nine days available, you can enjoy both without feeling that every day is filled with activities.
Zanzibar has several different coastal areas, and each offers a slightly different experience. Nungwi and Kendwa, on the northern coast, are popular for swimming, sunset views, and beach resorts. The eastern coast, including Paje, Jambiani, and Matemwe, is known for long beaches, peaceful surroundings, and beautiful ocean scenery. Stone Town provides a completely different experience, with historic buildings, busy markets, local restaurants, and streets that reflect Zanzibar’s long trading history.
This holiday is also an excellent addition to a Tanzania wildlife safari or Kilimanjaro climbing expedition. After several days of game drives or mountain trekking, Zanzibar offers a comfortable place to rest and enjoy the coast. Travelers can spend their days swimming, visiting local attractions, enjoying fresh seafood, or simply relaxing at their chosen hotel.

Day 1: Travel from Arusha or Moshi to Zanzibar – Arrival and Hotel Transfer
Your Zanzibar beach holiday begins in Arusha or Moshi, where you will travel to the airport for your domestic flight to Zanzibar. Depending on your location and the available flight schedule, departure may be arranged from Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport. Your travel arrangements will be confirmed in advance so that you have enough time to reach the airport and complete the required check-in procedures.
During the flight, you will travel from mainland Tanzania toward the Indian Ocean. As the aircraft approaches Zanzibar, you may enjoy views of the coastline and surrounding islands, depending on the weather and your seat. After landing at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, you will meet your driver and begin the transfer to your accommodation.
For the first night, staying in or near Stone Town is a practical choice because it allows you to explore the historic town before continuing to the beach. After checking into your hotel, you will have time to rest and settle into the coastal environment. Depending on your arrival time, you may enjoy a short walk through the nearby streets or spend the evening relaxing at your accommodation.
Stone Town has a lively atmosphere, particularly during the late afternoon and evening. Its narrow streets, historic buildings, local shops, and waterfront provide an interesting introduction to Zanzibar. You can enjoy dinner at your hotel or visit a nearby restaurant serving local and international dishes.
Accommodation: Stone Town hotel
Meals: According to the selected hotel package
Main activity: Arrival and relaxation
Day 2: Stone Town Historical Tour and Prison Island Excursion
After breakfast, you will begin a guided tour of Stone Town, the historic centre of Zanzibar City and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town is known for its narrow streets, carved wooden doors, old buildings, and cultural influences from Africa, Arabia, India, and Europe. Walking through Stone Town provides an opportunity to learn about Zanzibar’s history, architecture, trade, and everyday life.
Your guide will take you through selected historical areas, which may include the Old Fort, House of Wonders exterior, former slave market area, and local markets, depending on access and the day’s arrangements. You will also have time to explore small shops selling spices, clothing, handmade crafts, and souvenirs. The walking tour is a good opportunity to understand the island beyond its beaches.
After exploring Stone Town, you will continue to Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island, by boat. The island is located a short distance offshore and is particularly known for its population of giant tortoises. During the visit, you can learn about the island’s history and observe the tortoises while following the instructions provided by the local guides.
Depending on the weather and your selected excursion, there may also be an opportunity to swim or enjoy the surrounding coastal scenery. After returning to Stone Town, you will have the evening free to relax, explore the waterfront, or enjoy dinner at a local restaurant.
Accommodation: Stone Town hotel
Meals: Breakfast; other meals according to package
Main activities: Stone Town tour and Prison Island
Day 3: Zanzibar Spice Farm Tour and Transfer to Nungwi Beach
After breakfast, you will check out of your Stone Town hotel and travel toward one of Zanzibar’s spice farms. Zanzibar has a long history of growing and trading spices, and a guided spice tour is one of the island’s most popular cultural activities. During the visit, your guide will introduce you to different plants and explain how spices are grown, harvested, and used in local cooking.
You may see spices such as cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, and nutmeg, depending on the farm and growing conditions. The tour also introduces visitors to tropical fruits and other plants found on the island. Some farms provide opportunities to smell or taste selected products, making the experience enjoyable for travelers interested in food, agriculture, and local traditions.
After the spice tour, you will continue toward Nungwi Beach, located on the northern coast of Zanzibar. Nungwi is one of the island’s best-known beach destinations, with beautiful coastal scenery, hotels, restaurants, and opportunities for swimming and boat excursions. The drive provides an opportunity to see more of Zanzibar’s villages and countryside before reaching the coast.
Upon arrival, you will check into your selected beach hotel and spend the remainder of the day relaxing. You can walk along the beach, enjoy the swimming pool, or spend time overlooking the Indian Ocean. In the evening, the northern coast is a wonderful place to watch the sunset when the weather is clear.
Accommodation: Nungwi beach hotel
Meals: According to hotel meal plan
Main activities: Spice farm tour and beach relaxation
Day 4: Full-Day Relaxation at Nungwi and Kendwa Beaches
Today is dedicated to enjoying Zanzibar’s northern coastline. After breakfast, you can spend the morning relaxing at Nungwi Beach, where the white sand and clear ocean create an attractive setting for a peaceful beach holiday. Depending on the sea conditions, you may enjoy swimming, sunbathing, or simply resting at your hotel.
Nungwi is popular because its northern location often provides more convenient swimming conditions than some beaches on Zanzibar’s eastern coast, where tidal changes can expose large areas of the seabed. However, tides and sea conditions still vary throughout the day, and visitors should follow local safety advice before entering the water.
During the afternoon, you may visit Kendwa Beach, another popular destination on the northern coast. Kendwa is known for its broad sandy beach, relaxed atmosphere, and beautiful sunset views. It is a good place to enjoy a beach walk, have lunch at a coastal restaurant, or spend time swimming when conditions are suitable.
The evening is free for you to enjoy your chosen accommodation. You may prefer a quiet dinner at your hotel or visit a nearby restaurant. This day is intentionally relaxed, giving you time to enjoy Zanzibar without following a busy sightseeing schedule.
Accommodation: Nungwi beach hotel
Meals: According to hotel meal plan
Main activities: Beach relaxation and optional Kendwa visit
Day 5: Mnemba Area Snorkeling and Indian Ocean Experience
After breakfast, you will prepare for a marine excursion near Mnemba Atoll, one of Zanzibar’s best-known snorkeling areas. The waters surrounding Mnemba are popular for their coral reef environments and marine life. Depending on the weather, tides, and local regulations, your excursion will take you to suitable snorkeling locations outside restricted areas.
Before entering the water, your boat crew will explain the day’s arrangements and provide safety instructions. Snorkeling equipment may be supplied as part of the confirmed excursion, and travelers should inform the crew about their swimming ability. While snorkeling, you may observe colorful reef fish and other marine species, although sightings depend on conditions and cannot be guaranteed.
The excursion provides an opportunity to enjoy Zanzibar’s marine environment from a different perspective. The clear water, coral formations, and surrounding ocean scenery make this a popular activity for visitors who want more than a traditional beach day. Responsible snorkeling is important, so avoid touching coral, disturbing marine animals, or leaving waste in the ocean.
After completing the excursion, you will return to your hotel for the afternoon. The remaining hours can be spent relaxing by the pool, walking along the beach, or enjoying the hotel’s facilities.
Accommodation: Nungwi beach hotel
Meals: According to hotel meal plan
Main activity: Mnemba area snorkeling excursion
Day 6: Transfer to Zanzibar’s East Coast – Matemwe, Paje, or Jambiani
After breakfast, you will check out of your northern beach hotel and travel toward Zanzibar’s eastern coastline. This part of the island is known for its long sandy beaches, traditional fishing villages, and quieter coastal surroundings. Depending on your preferences and accommodation choice, you may stay in Matemwe, Paje, or Jambiani.
The journey provides an opportunity to experience a different side of Zanzibar. While the northern beaches are known for their resorts and sunset views, the eastern coast has a more open landscape, with palm trees, wide beaches, and shallow coastal waters. The tides are particularly noticeable in some areas, creating changing views throughout the day.
Upon arrival, you will check into your selected hotel and have time to settle in. If you are staying in Paje or Jambiani, you may enjoy a walk along the beach and observe the local coastal environment. Matemwe is another attractive choice for travelers who prefer a peaceful atmosphere and views across the ocean toward Mnemba.
The rest of the afternoon is free for relaxation. You can enjoy the hotel swimming pool, sit by the beach, or explore the immediate surroundings. In the evening, you will return to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.
Accommodation: East Coast beach hotel
Meals: According to hotel meal plan
Main activities: Coastal transfer and relaxation
Day 7: Jozani Forest and Zanzibar Cultural Experience
After breakfast, you will travel to Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, one of Zanzibar’s most important natural attractions. The park protects forest habitats and is particularly known for the Zanzibar red colobus monkey, a species found naturally on the island. A guided visit provides an opportunity to learn about the forest ecosystem and the conservation work carried out in the area.
During the walk, your guide will explain the vegetation, wildlife, and ecological importance of the forest. Depending on the selected trail and conditions, you may also visit sections of the mangrove environment, where raised walkways provide access to areas influenced by tidal water. The experience offers a useful contrast to Zanzibar’s beaches and allows visitors to appreciate the island’s natural diversity.
After the forest visit, the day’s arrangements may include a stop in a nearby village or cultural area, depending on the confirmed excursion. Such visits can provide an opportunity to learn about local livelihoods, traditional activities, and the relationship between communities and the surrounding environment. Any community experience should be arranged respectfully and with the appropriate local hosts.
You will return to your beach hotel in the afternoon, leaving enough time to relax before dinner. The evening can be spent enjoying the coastal atmosphere and preparing for another day beside the Indian Ocean.

You may spend the morning swimming when conditions are suitable, enjoying breakfast with an ocean view, or walking along the sandy coastline.
Travelers who prefer a more active day can discuss optional activities with the hotel or tour operator. Depending on your location and the weather, these may include kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, additional snorkeling, a traditional dhow excursion, or a visit to nearby coastal villages. Some activities require advance booking and may involve additional charges, so arrangements should be confirmed before participation.
If you are staying in Paje, you may notice kiteboarding activities when the wind conditions are suitable. Jambiani offers a quieter coastal atmosphere, while Matemwe is particularly attractive for travelers who enjoy peaceful beach surroundings. Whatever location you choose, the day provides time to enjoy Zanzibar according to your own interests.
In the evening, you may arrange a special dinner at your hotel or a nearby coastal restaurant. For couples and honeymooners, this can be a pleasant opportunity to celebrate the final evening of the holiday. After dinner, you will return to your room for your last overnight stay in Zanzibar.

Your driver will collect you at the agreed time and transport you to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport.
The transfer time will depend on your hotel location, traffic conditions, and flight departure time.

Best Time to Visit Zanzibar in 2027, 2028 and 2029
Zanzibar has a tropical climate, with warm temperatures throughout much of the year. However, rainfall, humidity, and wind conditions vary between seasons. Choosing the right travel period depends on whether you prefer beach relaxation, snorkeling, water sports, or a combination of different activities.
June to October is generally a popular period because conditions are often relatively dry and comfortable for sightseeing and beach holidays. December to February is another popular time, with warm weather and opportunities for swimming and coastal activities. However, Zanzibar can experience rain during any month, and no travel period guarantees uninterrupted sunshine.
March to May is generally associated with the longer rainy season, while November may bring shorter periods of seasonal rainfall. Travelers planning a holiday during these months should be prepared for changing weather and confirm excursion arrangements according to local conditions.
For holidays in 2027, 2028, and 2029, it is advisable to confirm hotel availability, flight schedules, and excursion arrangements before making final travel plans.

A nine-day itinerary is particularly suitable for honeymooners because it allows enough time to combine sightseeing with several relaxing beach days. Couples can choose a luxury beachfront resort, arrange a private dinner, or include additional experiences according to their preferences.
For travelers combining a Tanzania safari with a Zanzibar honeymoon, the island provides a relaxing final stage after several days of wildlife viewing on the mainland.
