Affordable Zanzibar Package from Nairobi | 4 Days 3 Nights
Couple Packages
Getaways
Amaan Beach Bungalows, Nungwi or similar
Four days on Zanzibar from Nairobi: a short flight, a guided walk through Stone Town, three beach nights in Nungwi and a sunset dhow sail, in one price.
Affordable Zanzibar Package from Nairobi: four days and three nights on the island with return economy flights from JKIA and checked baggage. You land in the morning, walk Stone Town with a local guide, then drive north to Nungwi for three nights at Amaan Beach Bungalows on the beach, with breakfast every morning. A shared sunset dhow cruise off Nungwi is included, and every transfer is private, from the airport to Stone Town, on to your hotel and back to the airport.
It is the easiest trip abroad a Kenyan couple can take. The flight is under two hours, Kenyan citizens do not need a visa for Tanzania, and three nights is enough for a proper break. One price per person sharing covers it all, and one Baecation planner stays with you on WhatsApp from booking to landing home.
Zanzibar gives you the white sand and turquoise water people usually fly much further for, less than two hours from Nairobi. This package keeps it simple: one afternoon of history in Stone Town, then three nights at the northern tip of the island, where the beach faces west and the sun sets over the sea every evening.
We base you in Nungwi on purpose. It sits at the far north of the island, with the beach, restaurants and the dhow builders all within walking distance, so you can enjoy your evenings without needing a car. Amaan Beach Bungalows puts you on the sand at a price that leaves room in the budget for an island trip or two.
The days are paced for a couple on holiday. Stone Town on day one, the sunset sail on day two and a whole day on day three that is yours to spend on the beach or on one of the add ons below. Your planner answers on WhatsApp if a flight changes or you decide to add something.

About Package
More information about this package
Beach base: Three nights at Amaan Beach Bungalows, a 3 star hotel on the beach at Nungwi, or a comparable beach hotel confirmed at booking. The hotel has an outdoor pool, a grill restaurant and bar, and sea facing rooms, with breakfast served every morning.
Stone Town on foot: On the day you land, a local guide walks you through the lanes of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, past the Old Fort, the carved wooden doors, Darajani Market and the old waterfront. It is about two hours, enough to understand the island before you head to the beach.
Sunsets facing the sea: Nungwi sits at the northern tip of Zanzibar with its beach facing west, so the sun goes down over the water every evening. On day two you watch it from the deck of a traditional dhow.
No visa for Kenyans: Kenyan citizens do not need a visa to visit Tanzania, which includes Zanzibar. You travel on your passport, and your planner confirms any other entry requirement for your passport before you fly.
Private transfers throughout: A driver meets you at the airport, waits while you walk Stone Town and takes you on to Nungwi, then returns you to the airport on your last morning. The drive north is about an hour and a half.
One planner, start to finish: Your Baecation planner sends your e tickets and vouchers before you fly and stays reachable on WhatsApp throughout the trip. If something shifts on the ground, you message one person instead of three companies.
