Take some time to focus on yourself during your holiday with an invigorating morning yoga class at the yoga studio set against an ocean backdrop. Let the lull of the ocean calm your body and mind as you stretch and meditate for a refreshing start to your day.

Later on, chill out by the pool under the shade of a palm tree as you catch up on your book or head the the beach for some sunbathing and swimming under the dazzling African sun. If it's adventure that you're after, take advantage of the many watersports and excursions the hotel has to offer, especially your included quad excursion to discover Jambiani.

Starting from Jambiani (Kichakanyuki), we will drive slowly, respecting speed limits and rules, along the fishermen's houses and local activities to the main road.

By the beautiful old road, we will go to Makunduchi village and our first stop will be the main square (roundabout), where the guests can browse the local shops and purchase some gifts (such as rice, books and other school stationeries) from the local community.

After that, we will see and learn the story of Makunduchi Cottage Hospital and the Mwaka Kogwa Water Well. Then we will head to a local mud house where you will experience the different local traditions and culture while meeting with this young smiling community.

The last stop is Makunduchi Beach (Sokola Samaki), where an interesting collaboration with the fisherman community gives us the chance to move ahead with the Plastic Collection Project, where Zanzibar Quad Adventure is the promoter.

The fisherman will collect plastic on the beach at a proper collecting point, each quad features a 15 kg waterproof bag that we will use to move back plastic to our station. This plastic will be collected every two days from Zanrec Company and partly recycled by Ozti (Recycle At Ozti).

Then along a suggestive off-road along the Indian Ocean, we will drive back to Jambiani.

Our original tour will give you unforgettable memories and breathtaking pictures! Don’t forget your camera and your sun cream!

Please note: In order to respect the village culture, guests must dress appropriately (shoulders covered, no bikinis and no extra short pants).

Stone town is one of the few intact historical Swahili trading towns of East Africa. It was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in the year 2000. The tour takes you to the fabled stone town, where history appears to stand still. 

The fascinating architectural design of stone town buildings with ornately carved and studded wooden doors shaded by balconies and verandas that line the narrow winding streets is evidence of a rich cultural heritage where Arab, Persian, Indian and European influences blended with African tradition.
