The newer portion of the city is known as Ng’ambo, Swahili for ‘the other side’. Stone Town is located on the western coast of Unguja, the main island of the Zanzibar Archipelago. Former capital of the Zanzibar Sultanate, and flourishing center of the spice trade as well as the slave trade in the 19th century, it retained its importance as the main city of Zanzibar during the period of the British protectorate. When Tanganyika and Zanzibar joined each other to form the United Republic of Tanzania, Zanzibar kept a semi-autonomous status, with Stone Town as its local government seat. Stone Town is a city of prominent historical and artistic importance in East Africa. Its architecture, mostly dating back to the 19th century, reflects the diverse influences underlying the Swahili culture, giving a unique mixture of Arab, Persian, Indian and European elements. For this reason, the town was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. Due to its heritage, Stone Town is also a major visitor attraction in Tanzania, and a large part of its economy depends on tourism-related activities. Activities: City tour, Meals: Bed and Breakfast.

Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island or Quarantine Island, is located in Zanzibar Archipelago at 5 km North West from Stone Town, Zanzibar.

The building was never used as a prison; instead it was a quarantine station for yellow fever cases. Nowadays, the bulding is used as a guesthouse for tourists. During your guided tour, we will sail from Zanzibar and after 30-45 minutes we will dock at the Shore of Prison Island. There, in the coral reef in shallow waters, you can observe beautiful star fishes, and collect magnific shells as souvenirs.

They found on Prison Island nice conditions to breed, so by 1955 the total number of giant tortoises from Prison Island Zanzibar increased to 200. As part of your guided tour on Prison Island, we will visit the reservation and you’ll be able to observe, interact and feed the tortoises. Very calm and friendly reptiles, they can be fed by hand.
