Walk amidst the exotic vegetation, closely sight the indigenous flora and approach the Red Colobus monkeys. Good-natured and good-humoured, they allow visitors to get close to them as they frolick playfully around.
MUYUNI VILLAGE
Then drive to Muyuni, a village in the southern district of Zanzibar. The people of Muyuni follow their culture, norms and tradition very closely and during this tour you will get opportunity to mingle with them and learn more of their lifestyle. The village is fascinating, you will discover a number of traditional activities including rope making, makuti plating, and weaving of Zanzibar baskets and mates.
The tour also includes a visit to the Ngonga cave located in the village, a beautiful gem sculptured by nature into fascinating underground halls, chambers and tunnels. At the local Ngonga Cave, you will also get the opportunity to admire nature’s own artistry, chiselled and carved out by years of weathering into mesmerising subterranean hallways, cavities and corridors.
Ngonga Cave is the sanctuary of vampire bats, more scary for their name than in reality. More eerie still, local folklore has it that this cave is also a favourite with spirits and ghosts. Will you dare find out for yourself?
