Experience the best of both worlds with Saving Tour. Here is what makes this tour a must-do:
1. The Historic Charm of Stone Town
Walking through Stone Town is like stepping back into the 19th century. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, it is famous for its intricate carved doors, bustling markets, and historical landmarks. We will take you to the Old Fort, the House of Wonders, and the moving Anglican Cathedral (Former Slave Market) to learn about Zanzibar’s complex past.
2. The Giant Tortoises of Prison Island
Just a 20-minute boat ride from Stone Town lies Changuu Island, commonly known as Prison Island. Originally intended to house prisoners, it is now a peaceful sanctuary for Giant Aldabra Tortoises. Some of these magnificent creatures are over 150 years old! You will have the chance to feed them and take unforgettable photos.
3. Cultural Immersion & Spices
In the heart of the city, you will experience the vibrant local life. From the smell of cloves and cinnamon in the air to the fresh seafood at the Forodhani Gardens, Stone Town offers a sensory experience like no other. Our professional guides share stories and legends that bring these stone walls to life.
4. Snorkeling Around the Island
After visiting the tortoises, you can cool off by snorkeling in the clear waters surrounding Prison Island. The colorful coral heads and small tropical fish make it a perfect short escape before heading back to the mainland.
