ZANZIBAR ISLAND
Most prominent of the Spice Islands, Zanzibar has a potent
mix of history, legends and unique cultures. Visually
stunning with exceptional natural beaches and the haunting
architecture of Zanzibar town, the island has lured travelers
to its shores for centuries. Its past was dominated by
merchants, rulers, explorers, scholars - today tourism
is playing a key role. Zanzibar provides the perfect compliment
to an East African safari.
Zanzibar is famous for being a major producer of cloves,
and infamous as being a slave entry-port, the old stone
town of Zanzibar has a fascinating labyrinth of narrow
winding streets lined with whitewashed, coral-rag houses
with overhanging balconies and magnificently carved brass
studded doors, shops, bazaars, mosques, courtyards, squares
etc. Outside town there are more ruined palaces, Shirazi
remains, Persian baths, and magnificent palm fringed beaches
with warm clear water, ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
EXCURSIONS IS ZANZIBAR
Zanzibar City Centre - Half Day
The half-day city tour visits Zanzibar's colourful market,
which exudes a heady smell of herbs and spices. Other
sites visited include the Anglican Cathedral, which stands
in silent testimony on the site of one of the last open
slave markets in the world, the residence of the late
Sultan of Zanzibar; 'Tip Tip House'. The Old Fort and
the House of Wonders - all locations rich in antiquity
and full of intrigue from the days of long ago. The tour
ends with a romantic stroll along the narrow lanes of
the Old Stone Town.
Spice Tour - 4 Hours
The spice tour is guaranteed to sharpen your senses. Drive
through the countryside to visit spice plantations - with
an opportunity to pick, smell and savour exotic fruits
and spices.
Jozani Forest - 4 Hours
Jozani is the only remaining natural forest on Ungunja
Island. Covering an area of 10 sq km it consists of high
forest, swamp forest and evergreen forest. It provides
an important refuge for the remaining Ungula fauna such
as the rare Red Colobus Monkeys, small Zanzibar Leopard
and two antelope species - the Zanzibar Duicker and Sunni.
Prison Island - Full Day
Changuu Island is a historical island once used for the
detention of recalcitrant salves. Today Giant Tortoises,
some over 100 years old, act as unlikely vigilantes over
the island. The beach is superb and the crystal clear
sea excellent for swimming, snorkeling, fishing and diving.
This trip is perfect to while away a complete day.
