Overview
The add-on people ask for after a climb or a safari, and the reason so many East Africa trips end with a scramble to book something on the coast at the last minute. Four nights: one in Stone Town so you actually see the island's history, three on the north coast where the swimming is best at all states of the tide.
It runs as a standalone island holiday too, but it is priced and timed to follow a Serengeti safari or a Kilimanjaro summit — tell us which and we will line up the flight.
Highlights

Met at the airport or the ferry and taken into Stone Town, then an afternoon walking the old quarter: the carved doors, the seafront and the market.
