Go on a tour to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Stone Town today. This three and a half-hour tour commences with a visit to Zanzibar’s colorful market. Alive with the buzz of locals bartering fresh vegetables and baskets of tropical fruit, amongst the heady smell of jackfruit (and many other exotic fruits) you continue on to the site of a cathedral built in 1874. The cathedral signifies a compelling time in Zanzibar’s history and stands on the sight of a past slave market, its high altar standing on the exact site of the whipping post. Slavery was abolished in 1873 through a decree passed by the then current Sultan of Zanzibar.
Next visit the residence of the late Sultans of Zanzibar, ‘Tip Tip House’, the Old Fort, ‘Peoples Palace’ and the House of Wonders’, full of intrigue and vivid history from a bygone era. The tour ends with a stroll through the narrow streets of the old stone town, the heart of Zanzibar’s vibrant history with time for shopping.
This tour can be arranged in the morning or in the afternoon. The rest of the day is at leisure. Optional activities can be arranged upon prior request.
After an early transfer to Kizimkazi in Menai Bay, board a local “dhow” and head off in search of the dolphins! An outboard engine is used for the excursion.
Situated on the southern point of the island, Kizimkazi fishing village is home to several schools of bottle-nosed dolphins and humpback dolphins, which can often be spotted following a short boat trip from the village. If you are lucky, you may be able to swim and play with the dolphins at close range, which is bound to be an unforgettable experience.
You are advised to bring waterproof shoes for boarding the dhows along with towels, sunscreen and a spare T-shirt for snorkelling. The rest of the day is at leisure. Optional activities can be arranged upon prior request.
After breakfast transfer to the airport for your onward journey home.
