Stone Town –  old part of the Zanzibar Town – the capital of the island of Zanzibar, is a maze of streets with local shops and tiny squares where locals meet for afternoon coffee, and great, however quite run-down, houses built from coral during Arabic and colonial times. This multicultural town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is famous for its beautifully ornamented doors, its slave market, and the house which Freddie Mercury was born in. During this trip we will see the House of Wonders built by the Sultan in 19^th century, Old Fort, and Forodhani Gardens which fill up with numerous food stall after sunset.

Prison Island is located 20 minutes boat ride from Stone Town. Its name originated in the 19^th century, when the prison facility was built there. However, the facility never became an actual prison.  Later, the building was converted into a hospital and a quarantine facility. Today, nothing but the walls remained, and this place is best known for Aldabra tortoises brought here form Seychelles at the beginning of 20^th century. At present, the tortoises are the island`s biggest attraction. They can weigh up to 400 kg and live up to 250 years. Incredible coral reefs can also be found in the island`s vicinity, which makes it perfect for diving, swimming and sunbathing.
