HISTORICAL STONE-TOWN TOUR  

Stone Town is one of the oldest living Swahili towns in East Africa. It’s unique winding, narrow streets are adorned with (some crumbling) beautiful buildings. Established by Arab slave and spice traders in the early 19th century, Stone Town is the cultural heart of Zanzibar.

This two hour tour commences with a visit to Zanzibar’s colorful market. Alive with the buzz of locals bartering fresh vegetables and baskets of tropical fruit, among the heady smell of Jack fruit (and many other exotic fruits) we continue on to the site of the Anglican Cathedral built in 1874 by the British. The cathedral signifies a potent time in Zanzibar’s history and stands on the sight of a past slave market, its high altar standing on the exact site of the whipping post. Slavery was abolished in 1873 through a decree passed by the then current Sultan of Zanzibar.

From here we visit the residence of the late Sultans of Zanzibar, Tippu Tip House, Africa House (the former British Club), the Old Fort, Peoples Garden, House of Wonders (Beit-El-Ajaib)and the old Khoja Shia Itnashari Dispensary, full of intrigue and vivid history from a bygone era. The Zanzibar beach holiday Tour ends with a stroll through the narrow streets of the old stone town, the heart of Zanzibar’s vivacious history.
