Detailed itinerary

Maalum Cave is a natural underground pool located in Paje, Zanzibar, known for its crystal-clear freshwater and serene jungle surroundings. The name "Maalum" means "special" in Swahili, a fitting description for the unique experience the cave offers.

Here travelers will have up to 90 minutes to explore the environment, swim in the natural pool, snorkel as well as taking photos and video clips with the help from their guide.

Snorkeling gears, pool towels, swim shoes and shower will be provided to them by Maalum Staff Team during the activity.

Paje Beach is a world-class beach on the southeast coast of Zanzibar, renowned for its powdery white sand, turquoise waters, and vibrant atmosphere. While it's a paradise for relaxation seekers, it is particularly famous as the kitesurfing capital of Zanzibar, drawing beginners and experts alike. Travelers will be given about two hours to explore the beauty of this beach and even take seat at any of the beachfront Restaurants for a drink before heading to the next destination.

Kae Funk in Zanzibar is a well-known sunset beach bar and guesthouse located in Michamvi. The name does not refer to a specific music genre but rather a venue that often features funky and reggae-style music as part of its vibrant, tropical atmosphere.
