Itinerary and highlights

In a nutshell this tour will teach you a lot about Zanzibar. It is especially designed for those who are interested in history and shopping, particularly at souvenirs. In Stone Town, we have many historical sites, such as the slave market site, the House of Wonder, the old fort, Freddy Mercury's house, Zanzibar doors, and visiting some churches.

This is considered the most beautiful island in Zanzibar, where we frequently go to experience its magic. We will learn why the island is called Prison Island, and its has many names, each of which has a history. You can see giant tortues there, the oldest of which is 200 years old. It's a great place to explore because the water is so clear that you can jump in, and it has a lovely beach where you can spend time.

You always go to the market to buy spices, but you have no idea how they are grown, how long they take, or how they are used as medicine. Here, we will teach you everything, and you will be surprised by the various uses of the spices. After that, there will be a butterfly at the spice farm that will entertain you by singing and climbing the coconut. Finally, you will see the spice market, and if you are interested, you can purchase because it is truly amazing.
