Description

Begin your adventure with a boat ride from Stone Town to the historic Changuu Island, also known as Prison Island, where you’ll explore the old prison ruins built during the British colonial era. Next, visit the Aldabra tortoise sanctuary, home to some of the world’s largest and longest-living tortoises—some weighing up to 200 kilos and over 196 years old. These remarkable creatures were originally brought to Zanzibar from the Seychelles. Keep an eye out for the resident peacocks, known for their vibrant feathers and symbolic significance. Enjoy interacting with them and taking memorable photos. Afterward, head to Nakupenda Sandbank, famous for its clear blue waters, perfect for snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing. Enjoy a fresh seafood lunch, accompanied by seasonal tropical fruits and soft drinks. Conclude your tour with a guided walk through Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar City. Explore notable sites such as the former slave markets, lively local markets, narrow winding streets, and impressive landmarks like the Sultan’s Palace and traditional Arab mansions. Gain insight into Stone Town’s rich heritage, shaped by Arabian, African, Indian, Persian, and European influences, and learn about its UNESCO World Heritage status and its role in the history of the slave trade.
