This tour includes 3 must-visit places in Zanzibar, which are Stone Town City (The UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Cultural Arts Centre of East Africa) and the spice farms (Jambo Spice Farm and Tangawizi Spice Farm) and we will end our day by exploring the Prison Island - the former prison for slaves and quarantine station for Zanzibar built by Lloyd Mathews in 1893. It is an absolutely worthwhile experience. Zanzibar is well-known for its heritage sites and cultural tours.
