Three days: a short beach break

Three days can provide a taste of the island after a safari, especially if you stay in one area. Allow for airport transfers and avoid packing every excursion into a short visit.

Five days: a balanced first visit

Five days often gives time for Stone Town, a beach base and one or two activities. You can include a relaxed day rather than moving accommodation repeatedly.

Seven days: more room to explore

A week works well if you want a slower pace, different coasts, snorkelling or cultural activities. It is also useful for couples who want substantial beach time after an active safari.

Plan around arrival and departure

A late arrival and early flight can shorten usable beach time considerably. Confirm transfer arrangements and ferry or flight schedules before choosing the number of nights.

Plan your next step

The right plan depends on your dates, starting point, travel style and how much time you want in each place. Ask for an itinerary with realistic transfers and clear inclusions, rather than a long list of stops.
