Zanzibar Extension: Pre-Departure Information (4 Day/ 3 Night): 

Time to leave Kenya  and enjoy some island time. Over the course of 4 days, we’ll compliment our time in Kilimanjaro’s vast plains with an Indian Ocean island adventure. Explore the winding streets of Stone Town venturing through the former Slave Market, the Sultan’s Palace and the Old Arab Fort on a guided tour. Along the way, experience modern-day island life in the coastal spice and fish markets. Venture offshore to idyllic Prison Island and scout for the island’s famous giant tortoises at a sanctuary, relax on powder white beaches and swim in crystal blue waters. 

Here is some important information that you need to know about traveling on the Zanzibar extension.

A visa can also be obtained on arrival at the Zanzibar Airport for $100USD per person. You must have either a $100 bill or two $50 bills that are crisp and newer than 2006. Please also be sure to print out your final itinerary with the hotel addresses and contact info in Zanzibar for the application. Please read here for more information on these requirements.
