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-ElAjaib)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.
