描述

Explore prison island and stone town visiting different historical sites, the market, the old fort, Palace Museum, and the site of the former slave market at the Anglican Cathedral Church.
Stone Town is the historic heart of Zanzibar City, the capital of the Zanzibar archipelago off the coast of Tanzania. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its unique blend of Swahili, Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influences. Stone Town's name comes from the coral stone buildings that line its narrow streets and alleys.

The architecture of Stone Town is a fascinating mix of styles, with intricately carved wooden doors, ornate balconies, and winding alleyways that create a maze-like atmosphere. Many of the buildings date back to the 19th century when Zanzibar was a major trading hub for spices, ivory, and slaves.

Visitors to Stone Town can explore its historic sites, including the Sultan's Palace, the House of Wonders, and the Old Fort. The town is also home to vibrant markets, bustling bazaars, and lively street vendors selling local crafts, spices, and food.

One of the highlights of Stone Town is Forodhani Gardens, a waterfront park where locals and tourists gather in the evenings to enjoy freshly grilled seafood and other local delicacies. The seafront promenade offers stunning views of the Indian Ocean and is a great place to watch the sunset.

Stone Town is a charming and atmospheric destination that offers a glimpse into Zanzibar's rich history and cultural heritage. It is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Zanzibar.

Prison
Prison Island also called 'changuu' in swahili language. It is the home to large land tortoises that were imported from Seychelles. Get to touch and feed these creatures living in a sanctuary. Also, learn about the island’s historic use as a prison for rebellious slaves in the 1860s.
The Aldabra Giant Tortoise sanctuary is a significant draw for tourists, boasting a 200-year-old resident as its oldest. These non-indigenous, majestic creatures weigh an average of 200 kg and can live over 100 years.
