Stone
Town Visitors can explore the heritage and history of the famous Stone Town,
now designated a World Heritage Site. This includes visits to the city market,
the old Anglican Church located on the site of the old Slave Market and the National
Museum of Zanzibar (nominal fee paid by clients if they wish to enter the museum).
Later visits to the Old British Consulate, the Old Fort dating back since 1700,
House of Wonders and Livingstone House give visitors an insight into Zanzibar's
rich history. Leisurely walks through the winding alleys and narrow streets will
take you to the small exotic bazaars and local curio shops. Spice Plantations
and Farms Visits to the spice plantations will dazzle your senses with fresh spices.
On the
way visitors can stop at the old Sultan Rest House to view the Persian Baths built
in 1850 by Seyyid Said bin Sultan (first Sultan of Zanzibar) for his wife Princess
Shehzard. A unique opportunity to visit the local farms and talk to farmers who
will show you the traditional spices and fruits of Zanzibar. Dolphin Tours One
of the Island's most popular excursions, and a unique opportunity to see the numerous
dolphins, which inhabit the sea in the southern part of the Island, not far from
Breezes. After
a transfer to Kizimkazi, visitors can board a local dhow and head off in search
of the dolphins. It is important to remember that these beautiful marine creatures
are not tame in spite of which they come very close to the boats in large numbers.
Snorkeling
at these sites is also possible. The return trip includes a visit to the Kizimkazi
mosque, believed to be the first mosque in Zanzibar and indeed one of the first
in East Africa, which still contains the famous Kufic scripts in its walls. Jozani
Forest The only remaining natural forest on Unguja Island is a heaven for nature
lovers! With a rich variety of bird species, Jozani also offers the unique opportunity
of seeing the very rare Red Colobus Monkey, which is indigenous to the Island
of Zanzibar. Deep
