You'll wake up and have a delicious breakfast at 7:00 am, as today marks the end of your safari. Today, you will depart for Lake Manyara National Park, nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley. Known for its diverse landscapes, the park is home to iconic tree-climbing lions, elephants, giraffes, and a variety of bird species around the alkaline Lake Manyara. You'll enjoy a captivating game drive, exploring lush forests and open savannahs. In the afternoon, you'll drive to Arusha Airport for your flight back to Zanzibar. The flight will take about one hour. Upon arrival, our guide will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel for dinner and a relaxing overnight stay.

Lake Manyara National Park to Zanzibar

After breakfast, you will go on a short, guided tour of Stone Town. After the tour, you will head straight to the northern coast of Zanzibar, known as Nungwi. Nungwi has white coral sand that seems to glow even after nightfall. Its expansive coastline is open for swimming and snorkeling in some of Africa's most pristine, reef-rich waters. It is one of the rare Zanzibari beaches untroubled by severe undulations of high and low tides, making it perfect for all-day water activities. Deep-sea fishing near Nungwi is top-notch, with opportunities to catch kingfish, yellowfin tuna, and enormous striped marlin from the Indian Ocean. Plenty of activities are offered, including walking tours, sunset cruises, diving excursions, and parasailing, just to name a few. Still, all it takes is a sunset sighting of traditional dhow boats bobbing on the sea to be captivated by this enchanting African beach.
