Accommodation & Activities
Days 6 - 12
After an early morning breakfast, game drive safari and connecting flight you will arrive at the stunning Zuri Zanzibar. Situated in Kendwa on the north west coast of Zanzibar, where postcard perfect sunsets, glistening white sands and aquamarine waters are in abundance, a huge draw here is the 300 meter beautiful private stretch of beach and the retreat’s strategic location within a non-tidal lagoon, meaning that guests can swim all day in the clear, calm sea..
With a huge focus on wellbeing and harmonizing the body, mind and soul, Zuri Zanzibar offers yoga, meditation and fitness classes, although guests are encouraged to be as laid back or as active as they like. An onsite watersports and PADI diving center hires out snorkelling gear, kayaking and paddle boards while sunset ‘dhow’ cruises on a traditional sailing boat and fishing trips can also be organised by the staff on your behalf.
