Description

Embark on a fascinating full-day journey through Zanzibar’s top attractions — Stone Town, Prison Island, and Jozani Forest. This combined tour allows you to experience the cultural heritage, historical landmarks, and unique wildlife of the island in one unforgettable day. Your day begins with a guided tour of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through narrow alleys, visit bustling markets, and explore iconic landmarks such as the Old Fort, the House of Wonders, the Sultan's Palace Museum, and the Old Slave Market. Learn about the rich Swahili, Arab, and European influences that shaped this historic city. Next, take a short boat ride to Prison Island (Changuu Island). Originally used as a quarantine station, the island is now famous for its Aldabra giant tortoises, some of which are over 100 years old. Feed and interact with these friendly creatures, then enjoy some time to relax on the beach or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters (equipment not included). Finally, head to Jozani Forest, the largest and only national park in Zanzibar. Walk through the nature trails and discover a rich biodiversity including medicinal plants, mangrove boardwalks, and the rare Red Colobus Monkeys found only in Zanzibar. Your knowledgeable guide will explain the forest ecosystem and conservation efforts.
