Abdi Zanzibar Tours And Safaris
Tour operator
👍👍 I did two trips with Abdi. First day I went to Prison Island and Stone Town. Abdi told me the history of these places by relating a lot of interesting details about how they were built and by whom. Next day, I visited Jozani forest and the Mangrove forest. Here, I found out more about different spe...

👍👍 A must visit when in Zanzibar. I highly recommend visiting this farm when you are in Zanzibar. I was greeted by the owner Mr. Abdullah. This tour was really really amazing.

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

Changuu Island
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Mega place. 😄 The island is also known colloquially as Prison Island due to the ruins of a former prison (intended for the inhabitants of Zanzibar). You can get here from nearby Zanzibar by a boat rented from local fishermen. The water and the beach around the island are amazing. 😳👍🏻 There is a...

Big Body Spice Farm
Tourist attraction
😐 The spice tour is a perfect opportunity to learn about the plants of fruits and spices you use in the kitchen. The tour guides are knowledgeable and friendly. You will pay entrance fee (10000 tzs per person), and then the guide brings you to various spots where you can buy products: - parfume shop...

East Africa Slave Trade Exhibition (Slave Chambers - Cathedoral Church Of Christ)

👍👍 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. Is interesting to learn more history about it....

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. The facades of the old houses around the square are painted white and purple and some beautiful doors that belong to the UNESCO Heritage are also preserved, carved in wood, in Indian, Arabic or Swahili styles from the 18...

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....

😐 It is no luxury, but there is a bed, breakfast included, daily room cleaning, "safe" in the room. A big plus is the ceiling fan and air conditioning. I would criticize the bathroom, our shower did not work in our, the tap on the sink did not hold any more than it held. But I think it is good for lo...
