What you can expect

  • Begin your day with a walking tour of Stone Town, the oldest part of Zanzibar City. Explore historical sites, including the slave markets, bustling daily markets, and charming narrow streets. Enjoy some time for shopping later on.

    Relive the grandeur of this port city as you stroll through the twisting streets and look at former palaces, the Sultan’s Palace, and Arab mansions. Get an insight into the tragic history of slave trading.

    Next, take a boat from Forodhani Sailing offshore to Prison Island, also called 'Changuu' in Swahili. Discover the island’s historic use as a prison for rebellious slaves in the 1860s.

    Visit the Aldabra Giant Tortoise sanctuary, 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. Get to touch and feed these creatures living in a sanctuary.

    After your prison tour, be driven to the plantation and learn why Zanzibar is known as “Spice Island”. Embark on a guided walking tour of a spice farm, where you'll witness first-hand the cultivation of spices, herbs, and fruits.

    Immerse yourself in the aromas and flavours of spices, herbs, and tropical fruits such as coconuts, papaya, chilli, black pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, vanilla, cardamom, cassava, cloves, and lemongrass. Enjoy a Swahili lunch at the spice village area or at the end of the tour.
