The second day of your Zanzibar tour begins with a visit to Jozani Forest, the island’s only national park. After breakfast, venture into this lush forest on a guided nature walk.

Following your forest exploration, head to a coastal village like Matemwe for a seaside lunch. Enjoy fresh seafood at a beachside restaurant with panoramic views of the ocean. In the afternoon, embark on a snorkeling adventure at Mnemba Atoll. The vibrant coral reefs and abundant marine life, including turtles and tropical fish, offer a stunning underwater experience. After your snorkeling escapade, return to the northern coast for a beachfront dinner at a local resort. Relish freshly prepared seafood while enjoying the serene ambiance of the oceanfront setting.
