Romantic Africa
 

From Kilimanjaro International Airport you will be brought to Rivertrees Guest House for your first contact with Africa. It used to be a flower farm and has the romantic style that we all imagine of colonial Africa. The little bungalows are surrounded by old trees and flower beds, there is a swimming-pool to cool down, as well as a little stream to dream... There you can just relax, or go and visit the town of Arusha, or even visit Arusha or Kilimanjaro National Parks.

Ready for some beach!

After the dust and bumps of the road, you will welcome the relaxing and laziness on the beach in Zanzibar. Thinking of your safari, swimming in the turquoise water, or enjoying a cocktail at sunset will not ask too much effort from you! Nungwi Beach Village Hotel offers you comfort right on the beach, with view on the sea and the villagers' daily activities. From there you can take long walks on the beach, or go diving with one of the dive centres, or just take a book and read in the shade of a coconut tree...

Sail away!
Now, you sail off to the next island, Pemba, on board a luxury yacht. You can participate in the sailing or just lay back and relax, looking out for dolphins or whales on the way. You can also do some deep-sea fishing and have the fish served to you immediately as sashimi, or in the evening, on the grill! You can't have it fresher! Pemba is known for its beautiful underwater world that you can discover snorkelling or diving. The lonesome bays, where you will be the only ones, the tropical forest and the original villages will take you back some hundred years and make you forget all about our modern world with its stresses.

Stonetown
Back in Zanzibar you'll stay two nights in the most romantic hotel in town. Emerson & Green is in an old Arabian house that has been renovated and furnished in a way that will make you feel like characters of "One thousand and one nights". From there you can stroll in the narrow streets of the old town and buy some nice souvenirs. The town belongs to World Heritage and will give you some insight in the past as well as the lively present.
