Not much if you don\u2019t want too. But if all you need is a massage, a cocktail, the sun, the sand and the sea, then you would be in heaven. However if you need more excitement there is Scuba diving off the many reefs around this part of the island, or kayaking, surf skiing, snorkeling and volleyball to keep your excitement up.<\/p>\n<p>The 3 days on the resort are spent enjoying the beach and the sun doing what one wishes to do at a relaxed Zanzibar time. There is \u2018no rush in Africa\u2019 and that is a very truthful statement and there is definitely no need to rush on Zanzibar and it is one place where Africa time is running at the right pace.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.absoluteafrica.com\/liveblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Zanzi-Group.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-250 alignright\" title=\"Zanzi Group\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absoluteafrica.com\/liveblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Zanzi-Group-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.absoluteafrica.com\/liveblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Zanzi-Group-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.absoluteafrica.com\/liveblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Zanzi-Group.jpg 605w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>It is not just relaxing on the beach we do have to have a beach party and do need to celebrate the last night as a farewell to Zanzibar Island and to 5 more of our compatriots who like the Island so much they just cannot leave just yet.
