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 history of Islam in the regions with Ustadh Mustafa Briggs. Enjoy daily classes, madrassa visits, time in nature and swims in the indian Ocean. We’ll explore various coasts, historical sites and more! This trip is for anyone who enjoys adventure, food and good company. We've planned beach days, boat rides, mosque visits, a spice farm tour and more!


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

Burgundy signals magnificence. It appeals to our inner regality, stirring us to reclaim our best selves. In this spirit we invite you to experience more than an “Escape”. This is a path to enriching yourself while giving back to local communities. This is a chance to ground yourself in a graceful adventure and, through it, discover universal roots.

I had the most special and amazing time on this trip! I went with my sister and the group was just a gift from the universe. Wafa did an excellent job organizing unique and once in a lifetime experiences that I wouldn’t have been able to do, find, or secure on my own. The food was amazing and the team was amazing. Another shout-out to Trivian who absolutely made the trip for me. She was kind, warm, funny, and caring. Highly recommend this experience!

Wafa is so gifted in her art of retreat planning! The care, attention & thoughtfulness she put into every detail was immaculate! This was my first time in Jamaica and it won’t be my last. Based on my soulful & regenerative experience with this retreat, I’m already signing up for 2 other retreats with Burgundy Roots. It was everything we hoped for and beyond!

Where do I start? This trip has been a amazing experience on all levels. Physically, emotionally, spiritually - everythingly. :) Wafa went out of her way to make this trip memorable. Besides wonderful accommodations, great food and fun excursions we were blessed with the presence and Lectures of Prof Butch Ware. This is where the spirituality of this trip comes in. She carefully selected amazing experiences for the group and showed us her love of Jamaica through the things we did with her and the locals. I am very grateful to have met amazing people, friends for life and fun memories forever. I will definitely be booking another trip with Burgundy Roots inshallah. Wafa is a wonderful host and human. She treats you like she would like to be treated, hence you are in good hands. Thank you Wafa, you are doing what you are supposed to do. I had the time of my life. God bless.

I had an awesome experience! Our guide, Wafa, was patient, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. The trip was well organized, and the communication was clear. There was the perfect mixture of adventure, relaxation, and spiritual enrichment. We were immersed in a beautiful environment, and cared for by a warm staff. To top it all off Wafa attracted the most amazing group of participants. I made connections with people from all walks of life, and from many corners of the world. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to participate.

My wife and I chose to be a part of this tour as our honeymoon, immediately after getting married. One of the best decisions we've ever made. It was one of the most enjoyable and memorable times we've had in our lives. It was truly transformative. The amount of things we were able to experience was remarkable, and the people we were able to interact with and get to know, both locally and within our small group, were jewels. Everything was so well organized and Wafa's mindfulness to ensure that we were able to experience and contribute to the local culture is very much appreciated. We leave with once-in-a-lifetime experiences and memories that I'm confident will never fade. We will definitely be tagging along for future tours to other places.

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!
