Colourful Kenya And Exotic Zanzibar

DAY 1 Depart for Nairobi

Board your overnight flight from London to Nairobi, a non-stop journey of around nine hours. If you're travelling with children, their Sharky and George packs should provide plenty of inspiration while you sit back and enjoy the in-flight entertainment.

DAY 2 Take to the Water

As wonderful as it is to admire those stunning waters from the beach, it's impossible to resist the opportunity to get out there for yourself. Today you'll be collected from the resort and driven to Fumba Village, around 25 minutes from Stone Town. Here, you'll be welcomed aboard a hand-built dhow sailboat as you set out with your fellow passengers to explore the exquisite Minai Bay.

Look out for dolphins frolicking in the crystal-clear ocean, swim out from one of the dazzling white sand banks and tiny islands and don a mask and snorkel for a closer look at the impressive coral reefs beneath the waves. At high tide you can visit the secret mangrove lagoon on Kwale Island and enjoy a refreshing dip. There's also a chance to skim across the water on a traditional ngalawa (dug-out canoe), and at lunchtime devour succulent barbecued lobster, fish and calamari, washed down with something cold.

After an incredible day, you'll head back to Fumba Village, the dhow's iconic triangular sail pulled taut to harness the breeze, where a car will greet you and take you back to the resort in time for a relaxing dinner in one of the superb restaurants.
