Description

Begin your journey with a scenic boat ride to Prison Island, home of the legendary Giant Aldabra Tortoises, some over 200 years old. Walk among them, listen to their gentle movements and touch their ancient shells. Feel a deep connection to the past in this one-of-a-kind experience found in only a few places on Earth. Next, sail across shimmering blue waters to the dreamy Nakupenda Sandbank, a natural paradise that appears like a miracle in the middle of the ocean. The name “Nakupenda” means I love you and you will understand why as soon as you step on its powder-soft sand. Relax under the sun, swim in crystal-clear waters and enjoy a freshly prepared Zanzibar BBQ lunch with seafood, tropical fruits and refreshing drinks. This is the kind of place where time slows down, where couples reconnect, family enjoy it, friends relax here and where travelers feel alive again.
