10-NIGHT TANZANIA & THE CORALLINE SEYCHELLES EXPEDITION

Day 1 Dec 09, 2026 - Zanzibar

For many centuries, traders from Europe, India, the Orient and Arabia were lured to these shores. It was from here explorer David Livingstone set off on his last expedition into the heart of the continent. Today, as you walk along the winding streets of the old Stone Town, lined with whitewashed coral rag houses, you can see reminders of this rich history all around you. Visit the Palace museum, former residence of the Omani Sultans, and the cathedral that now stands on the site of the notorious slave market.

Day 2 Dec 10, 2026 - Pemba

Located in the far north of the country, 1,020 mi/1,650 km northeast of Maputo, this pretty town is situated at the tip of a peninsula enclosing an enormous natural harbor. Pemba was mostly untouched by the civil war and is well worth a visit for its faded Old Town, craft markets, outlying beaches and good diving offshore. It is the gateway to the northern beach resorts and the Quirimba Archipelago.

In 1901, five workers were left on Astove and for almost a decade small farms of pumpkins, watermelons, maize, and tobacco were cultivated. Bat droppings or 'guano' were discovered and extracted. After this discovery was made in 1960, more than 72,000 tons of guano were extracted preserving at least 5,000 tons.
