Accommodations

All the accommodations are in the heart of Stone Town, and are located within close proximity from each other. The furthest two points (Stone Town House and Park Hyatt hotel) are within 5 minutes walk from each other.

Our female travellers usually stay in our very own NomuHub Hostel while male travellers in a different one. The common area in our NomuHub Hostel can be used by all travellers.

We also offer 4 star and 5 star hotel upgrades with our accommodation partners, either in single room or twin-sharing basis. You may book these as add-ons in your booking process, but please note that confirmation of your reservation is subject to availability. During peak seasons in Zanzibar, it can be very difficult to secure a reservation so the earlier you book, the better.

Meals

There are many heterogeneous influences that are reflected in Zanzibar’s cuisine due to the multicultural nature that became a part of Zanzibar. The mixture of culinary traditions include Bantu, Arab, Portuguese, Indian, British and even Chinese cuisines.

The goal is to support education by enabling a suitable environment with the required facilities for schools. This trip will focus on supporting education through Construction, and will include building the foundation with cement, concrete and blocks, as well as drawing art on the walls.

GROUP5 :  5% for each member of a group of 3 or more (if less than 3, discount is not applicable)
