Kenya's plains, then Zanzibar's spice-scented sands.

- 5–7 nights on Zanzibar ideal.
- Stone Town + North East beaches.
- From $5,900pp for a full 12-night itinerary.
Why Zanzibar over Kenya's coast
White sand, spice heritage, Stone Town's Swahili-Arab UNESCO architecture. Diani is closer and cheaper — Zanzibar is more exotic.
Where to stay
Stone Town: Emerson Spice, Park Hyatt. North coast: Kilindi (Zuri), Zuri Zanzibar. East: Baraza.
Practical
Zanzibar requires a separate Tanzania visa (eVisa online). Malaria area — take prophylactics.
