Beach

Stone Town & Spice Islands — 3 Days

The history and the food rather than the beach.

A short trip for people more interested in Stone Town than in sunbathing: the old town on foot, a spice farm, Prison Island, and the night market. Three days is enough to see it properly.

Highlights

  • Guided walk through Stone Town
  • The old slave market and the Anglican cathedral
  • A working spice farm
  • Prison Island and its giant tortoises

Questions about this trip

How should I dress?

Zanzibar is largely Muslim. Away from the beach and hotels, cover shoulders and knees — it is a small courtesy and it is noticed.
