Linjetur til Zanzibar i Tanzania

Øya Zanzibar er et eventyr som må utforskes. Rik på natur, historie og opplevelser. Vi bor både i Stown Town, og på østkysten som er et paradis i seg  selv. Lev tett på ekte afrikansk kultur og liv. Her treffer vi lokale i nærliggende landsbyer og møter en annerledes hverdag enn vår egen. Dette gjør vi på tur :

  • Flere dager med dykking i båt fra østkysten bl.a. rundt Mnemba Atoll
  • Tur til lokal krydderplantasje
  • Vanding i historikse Stone Town og på de lokale markedene
  • Bor på stranda og nyter varme dager i en av Afrikas perler

Eleven betaler selv for nødvendige vaksiner og visum med tanke på reisemål. Du har selv ansvar for å ta nødvendige vaksiner i god tid før linjeturen. Dette kan gjøres på vaksinekontor eller hos fastlege. Ved å oppgi Zanzibar og Tanzania som reisemål vil du få beskjed om hvilke vaksiner du må ha.

To ganger i løpet av året drar vi på tur sammen, hele skolen. Disse turene er inkludert i prisen

Den store fellesturen vår går til Italia og den andre er en flott tur ut i havgapet til et skjærgårdsparadis som heter Havglimt, på en øy utenfor Kristiansand.
