👍 Great private fast-ferry company connecting Zanzibar island wiht Dar Es Salaam in about 1h20min.

Zanzibar Park
Zoo
👍 The park was beautiful, our guide was very patient and made sure we got all the information we wanted. The only reason for 4 stars I wish they had more wild animals. But they have kids play area, swimming area and it all looks good.

Tortoise Sanctuary
Animal park
😠 Tragedy, trash and torture. By promoting conscious traveling, I will not allow my participants to watch it again.
Here's what we witnessed:
- the whole reserve is filled with rubbish, the staff swear that they clean it every day, and you can see that the rubbish is very old and lies for a long time....

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...
