What You Need to Know: The 7-day Zanzibar honeymoon costs from US$1,895 per person (US$3,790 for the two of you) at mid-range hotels, or US$3,865 per person at luxury hotels such as Park Hyatt Zanzibar and Gold Zanzibar Resort, or similar. It includes airport transfers, two nights in Stone Town, four nights on the beach in north Zanzibar, a guided Stone Town tour, a sunset dhow cruise and all transfers on the island.
Who Is the Zanzibar Honeymoon For?
It is for couples who want a beach honeymoon with some culture and no early starts: Stone Town's narrow streets and rooftop sunsets for two nights, then four nights doing very little on one of the island's best beaches. It also works as the beach half of a longer trip; many couples add a short safari before it, flying in from Zanzibar for a night or two in the Serengeti.
