Itinerary and highlights
Stone Town, Zanzibar’s historic heart, is full of narrow alleys, bustling markets, and Swahili architecture. Visitors can see the Slave Market, a memorial of the island’s role in the East African slave trade, and Freddie Mercury’s house, the birthplace of the Queen singer. The House of Wonders impresses with its wooden balconies, large doors, and history as the first building with electricity and an elevator. Stone Town is famous for curved, carved doors, historic Old Fort, Forodhani Gardens with street food, and lively markets selling spices, textiles, and crafts. Mosques, temples, museums, and the waterfront harbor complete the rich cultural experience.
Tortoise Sanctuary. It is famous for its giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 100 years old, which visitors can feed and photograph. The island also has historic prison ruins, originally intended for rebellious slaves but later used as a quarantine station for diseases like smallpox and yellow fever. Visitors can walk among the ruins and learn about the island’s history.
Prison Island offers clear turquoise waters and small sandy beaches.
A Spice Farm in Zanzibar shows how cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and other spices are grown. Visitors can see, smell, and taste fresh spices and tropical fruits. The guides explain how spices are used in cooking, medicine, and Zanzibar’s history. Walking through the farm, you enjoy the green plants, fragrant air, and tropical scenery. It’s a fun and educational experience for all ages.
