STONE TOWN TOUR and PRISON ISLAND in ZANZIBAR – FULL DAY
STONE TOWN
Take a walk down Zanzibar’s memory lane in the company of a knowledgeable guide. The historical section of Stone Town, called the old town is an acknowledged UNESCO World Heritage. Its narrow streets and most of the houses bordering these are more than one and a half centuries old and stand witness to times bygone.
Stone Town Visit is composed of a series of attention-grabbing visits. Visit the bustling bazaars, the past slave market and chambers, the National museum, the House of Wonders, the Old fort, Sultan’s palace as well as cathedrals and countless mosques. There will be also time to shop for souvenirs and handicrafts to choose from.
PRISON ISLAND
Afterwards, a relaxing motor boat trip will take you to Prison Island. The island takes its name from the prison that was built there in 1893. At a later stage, the buildings served as a quarantine hospital. The sea trip offers the opportunity to catch a view of historical Stone Town. Today, only the ruins of the building remain from these days as well as a frangipani lined path around the island where the former patients took their evening walks.
The excursion allows ample time to stroll around, venture into the forested interior, swim, sunbathe or go snorkelling at leisure. The island’s lagoon and white sandy beaches are alluring. Here you can admire of beautiful peacocks flaunting their spectacular tail of feathers as well catch a close view of giant century old Seychelles tortoises.
Timing: Full day excursion (Lunch is not included, but you can get it packed from your chosen accommodation) that normally starts in the morning around 9 am and finishes around 4-5 pm in the afternoon, however you will be further communicated the exact time.
What to take with you: mosquito repellent, some money if you wish to buy spices, taste sugar cane juice and other products available at the farm and in town, walking shoes, hat, photo camera and your good mood.
