Stone Town and Nakupenda Sandbank with Seafood BBQ
- Day trip
- Private
- About 7 hours
- Zanzibar and the Coast, Tanzania
Overview
Stone Town first, on foot: the Old Fort, the House of Wonders, the Sultan's palace, Darajani market and the lanes between them, with a guide who can tell you what you are looking at.
Then the boat to Nakupenda, a sandbank about twenty minutes out that surfaces at low tide with nothing on it but white sand.
Lunch is seafood grilled there, with tropical fruit, and there is time to swim, snorkel and sit before the boat runs back in the afternoon.

Getting there and what to know
Pickup and meeting point
Hotel pickup in the morning. The sandbank depends on the tide, so the day's timing moves through the month.
What we will advise you on
Send your dates and group size and we answer all four in the itinerary we send back.
The best months for this trip
Wildlife, rainfall and crowds change month by month, and the right answer is different for a migration trip than for a beach week. We will tell you what your dates mean for what you will see.
Weather and what to pack
Temperature, rain and altitude across the parks on your route, and a packing list for the season you are travelling in rather than a generic one.
Flights and how to get here
Which airport to fly into, whether to drive or fly between parks, and how the internal legs fit together. We will say when flying is worth it and when it is not.
Choosing the right lodges
What each lodge or camp is actually like, how far it sits from the gate, and what the difference between the budget, mid-range and luxury options buys you.
