👍👍 This company deserves more than 5 stars. Extremely professional! We arrived in Zanzibar and the driver was waiting for us with our name on a piece of paper.

Tangawizi Spice Farm
Spice store
👍👍 If you read the reviews you may think it's not worth going there because it's a tourist trap with tipping required for everything, not a real farm etc. - I was a bit worried about it too, but we enjoyed a tour very much. Yes, it's not a real farm - but the point is more educational here - you can s...

Shiv Shakti Temple - Hindu Temple with cute towers
Hindu temple
👍👍 It was a pleasant experience to come across a Hindu temple in a predominantly Muslim Zanzibar. The priest did not respond to my greetings in Hindi. Perhaps he is totally converted to Zanzibari way of life

East Africa Slave Trade Exhibition (Slave Chambers - Cathedoral Church Of Christ)
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Pay $8 entrance, and the first thing you do is a room with all the slave history then you go to the underground chambers where they put the slaves, then you go to the Anglican Catedral and next to the catedral you can find the sculptures of some slaves.

St Joseph's Cathedral
Catholic cathedral
👍👍 It's nice view, beautiful and it's story behind this picture its so huge compare to the picture itself, a Muslim country where you see a Church and Mosque on the same street.. this is actual something to learn from. Religious, Politics or any other thing should not be the reason to divide us, or sep...

Old Portuguese Arch image

Old Portuguese Arch
Historical landmark
😠 Do not go out of your way to visit this. You will most likely see it while leaving Stone Town, or as you walk around the area. It is literally just an arch, with no plaque or signage that does tells you what it was for or the significance of the arch. It's beautiful, especially if you like architect...

Jaw's Corner
Historical landmark
👍👍 The site is unique. A small square: the heart of the chaotic city of Stonetown.
