Choosing a Package

Where Do You Stay on a 2- or 3-Day Package?

You stay in our private Swahili-style villa, set in a tropical garden with a private pool. Every 2-day and 3-day package includes your room and a breakfast cooked each morning before your excursion. The villa is not a hotel, so it is quiet and used only by your group.

Why Book Your Zanzibar Package with Livingwell

How Are Our Zanzibar Packages Different?

Many operators sell Zanzibar excursions. These are the practical differences in how our packages work.

A Private Villa, Not a Shared Hotel

Multi-day packages include our own Zanzibar villa with a pool and tropical garden. You share it only with your own group.

Group Pricing That Lowers the Cost per Person

Every package lists a per-person price for each group size. Because transport, guiding and the villa are shared, the per-person price for a group of four or more is roughly half the solo price.

Local Guides

Every tour is led by a licensed local guide who speaks English and Swahili and knows Jozani's forest trails, Stone Town's backstreets and Menai Bay's waters.

Planned Around Your Flights

We arrange the itinerary around your arrival and departure times, so late arrivals and early departures don't cost you an excursion.

Clear Pricing

Each price covers exactly what its package page lists: excursions, transfers, guide, any meals specified, accommodation and breakfast. Optional extras, such as snorkel hire on Prison Island, are listed separately.

Book Directly on WhatsApp

Message us on WhatsApp at +255 760 660 414 at any stage. You talk directly to our team, who give practical advice and only quote for what you ask for.

Plan Your Visit

When Is the Best Time to Book a Zanzibar Package?

All 12 packages run year-round. June to September is the driest and busiest period, January to March is hot with generally calm seas, and April to May is the wettest and quietest. For more detail on each coast and season, see our Zanzibar beach guide.

Jan – Mar
Hot & Humid Hot beach weather and a generally calm sea that suits Safari Blue. Short showers are possible, and Stone Town's shaded alleys help in the heat.
Apr – May
Long Rains Fewer visitors, lower demand and a green Jozani Forest. Stone Town tours run as normal; Safari Blue depends on sea conditions.
Jun – Sep
Dry Season (Peak) Dry, sunny and slightly cooler, with good snorkelling visibility. This is the busiest period, so book ahead.
Oct – Nov
Short Rains Warm mornings and short afternoon showers. Ocean trips usually run well, and it is a good-value month.
Dec
Festive Season Good beach and ocean conditions and one of the busiest times of year. All packages operate; book early.

Before You Book

Frequently Asked Questions About Zanzibar Packages

The questions we are asked most often before a booking, answered directly.

How is the villa accommodation priced?
The villa costs $120 per night, shared across your group. A solo traveller pays $120, two people pay $60 each, and groups of four or more pay $30 each per night. This is the main reason per-person prices fall as your group grows.
How much does a Zanzibar package cost?
1-day tours cost $85–$210 per person, 2-day packages $195–$410, 3-day packages $305–$610, 4-day packages $820–$1,050 and 5-day packages $950–$1,150. For 1- to 3-day packages, the lower price applies to groups of four or more.
Are flights included in the packages?
No. International and domestic flights are not included, but we can book domestic flights to Zanzibar for you and time them to your package.
Can we mix and match excursions across different packages?
Yes. The 12 packages are starting points, not fixed bundles. If you want Stone Town on Day 1 and Safari Blue on Day 2, which is not a listed package, we can build and price it for you. Send us your preferred combination.
What is included in the daily breakfast?
Breakfast is cooked each morning by the villa cook and usually includes fresh tropical fruit, eggs to order, local bread, juice, tea and coffee. It is served in the garden or indoor dining area before you leave for the day's excursion.
Are the 1-day packages suitable if I am staying at a different hotel in Zanzibar?
Yes. All four 1-day packages include pick-up and drop-off at your accommodation anywhere in Zanzibar, whether you are staying in Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje or Jambiani.
What is the best package for a family with children?
For a single day, the Prison Island & Jozani Forest tour works well for children, who usually enjoy feeding the tortoises and watching the monkeys. Safari Blue is also suitable for families, with life jackets provided for everyone. For a family stay with beach time, the 2-day Prison Island, Jozani & beach package combines both.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations made more than 7 days before the tour date receive a full refund. Cancellations within 7 days may incur a partial fee, depending on bookings already made on your behalf. We strongly recommend travel insurance, and we will always try to find a solution if your plans change.
Do the packages run if there are only 2 of us?
Yes. All 12 packages run for any group size, including couples and solo travellers. Your group is never combined with other guests, so the experience is private. Each package page shows the per-person price for every group size.
How do I book and what happens after?
Use the enquiry form on any package page, message us on WhatsApp at +255 760 660 414, or email info@livingwelltoursandtravel.com. Within 24 hours you receive a confirmation with your itinerary and pick-up details. Every booking is confirmed personally; there is no automated checkout.
Do the 4- and 5-day packages also use the villa?
No. The 4- and 5-day packages use the hotel or beach-resort accommodation described on each package page. Our private villa is used for the 2- and 3-day packages.
Can I combine a Zanzibar package with a Tanzania safari?
Yes. Many guests take a 4- to 7-day safari and then fly to Zanzibar for 2–5 days. See our guide to combining a safari with Zanzibar, and we can arrange the domestic flight between the two.
