Recovery is part of the itinerary
Coming off Kilimanjaro your legs are wrecked and your appetite is enormous. Flying home in that state compresses the whole trip into an ordeal you survived. Four days on the coast turns it into something you did.
What to actually do there
Stone Town for a morning of history and spice markets, a dhow out to the sandbanks, and then genuinely nothing at all for two days. Snorkelling at Mnemba, or the north coast if you want swimmable water at every tide.
The flight from Kilimanjaro airport is under two hours and we book it as part of the trip, so there is no scramble at the end.
