Day Trip to Zanzibar

Safari summary

This full-day tour offers a perfect mix of Zanzibar’s rich history and natural beauty, ideal for couples, solo travelers, and anyone who wants to experience both sides of the island, cultural and coastal.
Start your day wandering through the winding alleys of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where African, Arab, Indian, and European influences blend into a unique and fascinating experience. You’ll visit important historical sites such as the Old Slave Market, the Sultan’s Palace, House of Wonders, and the Old Fort, all while learning about Zanzibar’s spice trade, Swahili culture, and colonial past.
In the afternoon, you will take a short boat ride to Prison Island (Changuu Island). Originally used as a detention center, the island is now a peaceful sanctuary home to giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 100 years old. You’ll have time to explore the island, visit the tortoise sanctuary, and swim or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters surrounding it.
With the blend of heritage, wildlife, and beach, this tour is one of the best ways to experience the essence of Zanzibar in a single day.
