Description

Explore Stone Town, the oldest city in Zanzibar, on a guided walking tour. Designated a World Heritage Site in 2000, Stone Town is a vibrant hub where Arabic, African, Indian, and European cultures harmoniously converge, creating a lively and multicultural atmosphere. Take in the different historical landmarks and discover how the town has changed over time. From the ancient buildings to the busy markets, learn about the town's history, including its poignant connections to the historic trade routes and the enduring legacy of slavery. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of bustling markets, where the sights, sounds, and flavors of local life come alive before your eyes. Connect with welcoming locals as you traverse hidden alleys and discover authentic spots favored by residents, uncovering the true essence of Stone Town. Finally, travel to Salaam Cave in Kizimkazi—a hidden natural freshwater cave surrounded by coral stone and tropical trees. Here, you’ll have the rare opportunity to swim with turtles in crystal-clear waters. It’s a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path experience you won’t find anywhere else on the island. This tour is a perfect mix of culture, conservation, and natural beauty. After exploring Stone Town, immerse yourself in nature at the Zanzibar Butterfly Center, a peaceful sanctuary showcasing diverse butterfly species. Walk through a lush tropical garden where you can observe these beautiful creatures up close, learn about their life cycle, and appreciate their importance in Zanzibar’s ecosystem. This tour is perfect for history enthusiasts and nature lovers seeking a balance of cultural exploration and natural beauty.
