The City tour Starts @ 0900hrs. and lasts for approximately
three & a half-hours. The tour commences with a visit
to Zanzibar’s colourful market. Alive with the buzz
of locals bartering fresh vegetables and baskets of tropical
fruit, you continue on to the site of the Anglican Cathedral
built in 1874. The cathedral signifies a significant time
in Zanzibar’s history and stands on the sight of a past
slave market. From here we visit the residence of the late
Sultans of Zanzibar, ‘Tip Tip House’, the Old
Fort, ‘Peoples Palace’ and the House of Wonders’,
full of intrigue and vivid history from a bygone era. The
tour ends with a stroll through the narrow streets of the
Old Stone Town, the heart of Zanzibar’s intriguing history.
We
then depart on the Spice Tour, guaranteed to waken your senses,
commencing at the ruins of the Maruhubi Palace, via the site
of David Livingston’s house (one of Africa’s greatest
explorers). A visit to a spice plantation where u will have
the opportunity to pick, smell & savour fruits & spices
that you have probably never seen on the supermarket shelf.
Local farmers live here and produce some of the world’s
most exotic fruits and spices. Cloves, star fruit, ‘bulls
heart’, tangerine trees, lemon grass, mangoes teen and
lip-stick trees. As an original gift to yourself or someone
back home, you may fancy buying a basket of freshly picked
spices to take home with you. We have Lunch in Mangapwani
. To end the day, dinner is served at 2000hrs. at the Hotel.
Day
3
After Breakfast you depart for Jozani Forest. Jozani Forest
is the only remaining natural forest on Unguja Island . To
have a complete forest tour, you need to visit all 3 sections
that make up the forest. Parts of the forest have been re-planted
with species of trees from across the world (most of which
hold medicinal qualities) and are over 100m tall.
A
large section of the forest sustains a wide variety of wildlife
and birds, including the rare Red Colobus Monkey, whilst
a 10-kilometer section is swamp forests and evergreen thickets
that provide a unique glimpse into a secretive world.
The
third section of Jozani takes you through natural bush,
also home to red Colobus monkeys before you meander onto
a twisted wooden bridge in the shadows of huge varieties
of mangrove species. Ask your guide about the close association
between the witch doctors of Jozani and leopard found in
the forest’s thickest recesses, and mystical tales
that surround this Forest Reserve, dating back to a time
when tigers (imported by the Sultans) inhabited the forest.
Lunch in Paje, ,@1500hrs sight seeing and a short history
