Your guide will tell you about the events that shaped Zanzibar, leading you through the buildings where everything happened, including the former slave market, the Anglican cathedral, the House of Wonders, the Sultan’s Palace museum and the old Arab Fort. You will also visit modern Zanzibar sites, including the fish and vegetable markets. Jozani Forest Tour The Jozani forest is home to a number of endemic species, including the Zanzibar Red Colobus Monkey, the Zanzibar leopard, which is critically endangered and possibly extinct and the recently described Zanzibar servaline genet. Your guide will take you on a nature trail, lined with eucalyptus and mahogany trees and explain the medicinal properties of various plants and tell you about the animals, birds and reptiles that make their home in the various habitats of the tropical rainforest. Prison Island Trip Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island, gets its name from the prison built to keep citizens from Zanzibar in isolation. Previously owned by an Arabian slave trader to house rebellious slaves, the prison was never used and the island is now a tortoise sanctuary. Prison ruins can still be seen on the island and a hotel has also been built there. Visitors can watch giant tortoises shuffle through the trees and are probably over 100 years old. Slave Routes of Zanzibar This excursion begins at the Dhow Harbour, where slave ships originally offloaded their human cargo from Bagamoyo. The tour continues to the Anglican Church at the slave market and past the missionary graves. The tour ends at Mangapwani, where you can walk through the caves which held hundreds of slaves, waiting for the monsoons and the arrival of the dhows that will take them to be sold. Spice Tour Zanzibar was known as the Spice Island, exporting cloves, vanilla, nutmeg and cardamom across the world. Nowadays, the plantations are a tribute to the island’s past. On this tour you get the opportunity to walk through the spice farms with your guide and touch, smell and taste different spices and tropical fruits. You also get the chance to learn about their properties, origin and use as medicines and additives to food and drink. *All excursions can be booked with your ground handler or onsite at our tours desk.
