      About this trip

      Zanzibar is an  archipelago made up of 4 large islands and several smaller islands. The main island, Unguja, has long been a centre of maritime trade. Its capital, Stone Town, where much of the architecture is still well preserved, you can breathe and feel the footprints of the rich and cosmopolitan history of this city, a unique place where East and West converge. Outside the city, the island abounds with endless white sand beaches popular with kite surfers, but also wild, rocky and quiet coves.


      Join us as we explore the island, its various coasts, forests, mosques and more! This trip is for anyone who enjoys adventure, food and good company. We've planned beach days, boat rides, mosque visits, forest trekking, a spice farm tour and more!


      As always, we ask that you travel with heart open and spirit ready!

      Stush in the Bush was the highlight of this trip for me! The food the vibes the people oh man! If I can experience that again I’d do it everyday! I also enjoyed the meaning and process behind farm to table and how it def is possibly to eat plant based foods and feel even more fulfilled! I enjoyed the beach and the 🌞 sun and blessed to be around kind hearted souls. Thank you!

      Amazing getaway, as always! Fifth trip with Wafa's lovely Burgundy Roots and she never disappoints. The attention to detail always exceeds any expectations I could possibly have. Especially grateful to Wafa for reorganizing and assuring everyone, as a hurricane hit the island just days before our arrival.

      I recently had the pleasure of spending 6 days with amazing people. I can’t put in words how wholesome this retreat was. I didn’t know how much it was needed it until I was there. Wafa checks all her boxes, she alone blew past my expectations and we’re so grateful for her hard work. This trip exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait to return again with beautiful groups and join future adventures!

      I had an amazing time! It exceeded my expectations by a mile, I knew it would be fun, but I had no idea how much fun I would have. Wafa is incredible at what she does, everything from a 'chill' day to the days we had excursions were planned to perfection. I highly recommend any of Burgundy Roots retreats, I can assure that you will have an unforgettable live-changing experience! - Jamia

      This retreat was the cherry on top of the most delicious ice cream sunday. Wafa did not leave out anything. Everything was professionally curated and I felt like I was being pampered with the right balance of excursions and relaxing beach days. I highly recommend you try out one of her retreats you will not be disappointed. May God continue to bless this beautiful endeavor so that we have a reliable source for clean and adventurous travel.

      I traveled with Wafa to do the Umrah... That was such a good experience. This trip is definitely the best by far. She is so professional and a nice person. I definitely recommend it to everyone who wants an experience that could change their life in a good way, bring more love in their heart, a closer connection with God and the chance to meet extraordinary people.

      I have been on two Burgundy roots trips so far and I must say, the itineraries are very well thought out. Wafa and her team pay attention to every detail and leave no stone unturned to ensure a truly unique, hands-off and stress-free experience for all attendees. You get to visit some hidden gems , spend time in nature, enjoy delicious food with amazing COMPANY and learn more about Islam while you’re at it. Such a beautiful, spiritually uplifting experience! BEST TRIP(S) EVER!

      Traveled with Burgundy Roots this summer to Jamaica and it was everything!!!! Wafa and her team were great! All the experiences and people I meet were a whole vibe. If you're thinking about traveling with them just do it, it will be so worth it.
