Stone Town is the old city and cultural heart of Zanzibar, and little changed in the last 200 years. It is a place of winding alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques, and grand Arab houses whose original owners vied with each other over the extravagance of their dwellings. You can spend many idle hours and days just wandering through the fascinating labyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways.

It is also called turtle island, where land turtles arrived from Seychelles, weighing about 100 kilograms and reaching the age of 150 years.

Earning its name as a former prison for slaves and a quarantine station for Zanzibar and the mainland, nowadays the island gives you the chance to escape for some peace and quiet. The island lies just off the Old Stone Town, it is also a home to giant land tortoises that were imported from Seychelles in the late 19th century. Now it is more commonly known as a home of Zanzibar’s Giant Aldabran Tortoise colony, some of which are over a hundred years old! This endangered species came to Zanzibar as a gift from the government of the Seychelles. Once on the island, you have the opportunity to feed and pet the tortoises; if you have time you may also like to take a stroll through the forested interior where you will see a wide variety of birds, colorful peacocks, bats, and beautiful butterflies. Keep your eyes peeled too for the shy and elusive Duikers – an unusual tiny antelope species. Josani Park: This is the only nature reserve in Zanzibar where there are beautiful mahogany trees, a very impressive tropical forest, where the colossus is grown only here in Zanzibar. This forest is one of the last remaining sanctuaries in the world of the red colubus monkey. The forest is 2,512 hectares (6,207 acres) in size and was declared a nature reserve in the 1960′s. Wonderful photo opportunities and sightings of these rare creatures living in the forest reserves are possible on the pathways. Our guides are also naturalists and nature lovers will have a wonderful time in the nature reserve

Later on, we will reach a forest of mangroves. In this forest, there are three types of this tree, all grown in salt water. Their roots serve as snorkels to get air to the tree, where a third of the height of the tree is roots, a very impressive sight. We will also be able to see many types of crabs living in this unique ecosystem. The tour is guided by a government-certified instructor.

They were an endangered species, but numbers have increased in recent years thanks to conservation work by the nature reserve working closely with the local people. It is estimated that there are now between 2,000-2,500 monkeys. The monkeys are wild, but it is possible to get close to them and they carry on their normal activities as though human visitors do not exist. Jozani has an excellent nature trail and the guides are well-trained and informative. A walk through this impressive flora and fauna is one of the highlights Zanzibar has to offer. At Jozani, you will also visit the Mangrove swamp and walk around the Mangrove forest.

We will sail with a Dhow boat from Unguja Ukuu to a private island (Nyamembe) with a spectacular sand bank. It is also known as "The Hidden Island" Then (according to tides) we sail directly to the lagoons if high tide or start on the sand bank if it's low tide. The blue Lagoon is a natural, warm, and relaxing pool that fills with the tide and empties with the low tide, surrounded by coral stones giving a spectacular sight. On the island - you will be free to walk around, take photographs, eat fresh fruit, rest on a mat that we will provide you, and especially enjoy the magical tranquility you have come to. In the afternoon a delicious lunch (the best in Zanzibar) is prepared by the boat crew with rich and varied seafood. The food will be as per your request with options for both seafoods and for vegetarians. From there we will sail back to Unguja ukuu, arrive at its authentic coast, and get into a car that will take you back to the hotel.
