What you can expect

After being picked up from your hotel, head to Mnemba Island. Hop on a boat and cruise around the island, searching for dolphins. If you're lucky, you might be able to swim with them. If it's low tide, cruise to the sandbank.

Next, transfer from Mnemba Island to Prison Island. Learn about the island's history as a prison for rebellious slaves in the 1860s. See the Aldabra Giant Tortoise sanctuary, home to a 200-year-old resident. Feed and touch the tortoises and learn about their history of Zanzibar.

Then, visit the old slave market (current Anglican Church) where you will get a chance to trace the history of the East Africa slave trade and discover the mark of world-famous explorer Dr. David Livingstone and other missionaries.

Next, head to the breathtaking fruits, vegetables, fish, meats, and spices market (Darajani Market) where you will get a chance to shop, taste, photograph, and look at fresh day catches from the Indian Ocean and many fruits, spices, and vegetables from local Zanzibari horticulture producers.

Continue to the Sultan Palace where you will get a chance to capture the history of the sultan dynasty of Zanzibar and explore the ambiance inside the majestic Sultan Palace.

The Forodhani garden is a famous evening resort where locals sell palatable seafood, sugarcane juices, BBQ, Zanzibar pizza, and a lot more. The next stop is the House of Wonders (Bait el-Ajab), the tallest building in East Africa, a ceremonial palace with a lot of mysterious stories inside.

Leave nothing but your footprints up to the Old Fort (Old Arabic Fort), a fast-erected feature in Stone Town, battle arena, and famous primitive railway station. Continue walking up to the home of lead singer, songwriter, frontman, and guitarist of the Rock Band Queen, Freddie Mercury, where you will get a chance to hear his history and take photos near his birthplace.

Finally, visit the French Catholic cathedral (Notre Dame of Zanzibar), a well-sculptured church in the heart of Stone Town with a lot of stories to tell. Conclude your tour by wandering around the narrow streets of Stone Town, exploring Zanzibar doors, visiting many souvenir shops, and returning to your pickup station or hotel.
End of your tour.
