Zanzibar City Excursions - Half Day
The half-day city tour visits Zanzibar's
colourful market, which exudes a heady smell of
herbs and spices. Other sites visited include
the Anglican Cathedral, which stands in silent
testimony on the site of one of the last open
slave markets in the world, the residence of the
late Sultan of Zanzibar; 'Tip Tip House'. The
Old Fort and the House of Wonders - all
locations rich in antiquity and full of intrigue
from the days of long ago. The tour ends with a
romantic stroll along the narrow lanes of the
Old Stone Town.
Spice Tour - 4 Hours
Once used to hold "rebellious slaves", Changuu
Island was purchased by a Briton in 1893 and
converted to a prison (although it was never
used). Enjoy the excellent swimming and
snorkeling. The spice tour is guaranteed to
sharpen your senses. Drive through the
countryside to visit spice plantations - with an
opportunity to pick, smell and savour exotic
fruits and spices. The fragrance of cloves is
always in the air on Zanzibar and this tour
takes you to one of the famous spice
plantations. Also visit the remarkably preserved
Persian Baths built by Sultan Seyyid Said in
1850.
Stone Town at Dusk - 3 Hours
As the sun sets and the city is called to
prayer, walk through the old town and see the
city from a different perspective. Enjoy a
leisurely walk through the old town, visiting
the historic buildings, places and shops in
Zanzibar.
Jozani Forest - 4 Hours
Jozani is the only remaining natural forest on
Ungunja Island. Covering an area of 10 sq km it
consists of high forest, swamp forest and
evergreen forest. It provides an important
refuge for the remaining Ungula fauna such as
the rare Red Colobus Monkeys, small Zanzibar
Leopard and two antelope species - the Zanzibar
Duicker and Sunni.
Prison Island - Full Day
Changuu Island is a historical island once used
for the detention of recalcitrant salves. Today
Giant Tortoises, some over 100 years old, act as
unlikely vigilantes over the island. The
Zanzibar beach is superb and the crystal clear
sea excellent for swimming, snorkeling, fishing
and diving. This trip is perfect to while away a
complete day.
Mangapwani Slave Caves - 5 Hours
Along a beautiful stretch of white sandy beach
lies a hidden cove said to be used for hiding
slaves after their export was forbiden in 1873.
Enjoy lunch and time to swim or relax on the
Zanzibar beach.
Full Day - Swim with Dolphins in Zanzibar
Beaches
Minimum 4 Passengers
Local boats take you from Fumba into the waters
off the island in search of the dolphin. With
luck, you'll find a pod and be able to swim
amongst these curious and gentle creatures.
Enjoy a Swahili barbecue lunch on a nearby
desert island and have time to relax before
returning to the mainland.
