What to expect

The best way to truly connect with a destination? Meet the people who call it home. This cultural adventure takes you deep into Zanzibar's south coast, where you'll visit the village of Muyuni, uncover the secrets of the Ngonga Cave, and explore the inspiring Paje Seaweed Centre.

Your day kicks off in the village of Muyuni, where everyday life moves at a gentle pace. You'll wander through the village on a guided tour, chatting with locals and getting a feel for Zanzibar's rural traditions. Then it's on to Ngonga Cave – a place shrouded in mystery and stories – where your guide will share the fascinating history behind this natural wonder.

After that, it's time to head towards the coast and the Paje Seaweed Centre. This community-run initiative empowers local women to make eco-friendly beauty and wellness products from seaweed. You'll have some free time to enjoy lunch before taking learning how seaweed goes from the ocean to the shelf.

To round off the day, you'll swing by one of Zanzibar's most iconic sights – The Rock Restaurant. Perched on a rock in the middle of the ocean, it's a must-see photo stop that captures the magic of the island.
