DOLPHIN TOUR
Situated on the
southern point of the island, Kizimkazi fishing village is home to
several schools of bottle-nosed dolphins and Humpback dolphins, which
can often be sighted following a short boat trip from the village. If
you are lucky, you may be able to swim quite close to the dolphins,
which can be a very rewarding experience. Kizimkazi is also the site of
a 12th century mosque, the earliest evidence of Islam in East Africa,
and is thus worth a visit for both natural and cultural reasons.

Stone Town ... by
vehicle
This three and a half
hour tour begins with a visit to Zanzibar's colourful market, alive with the buzz of
locals bartering fresh vegetables and baskets of tropical fruit, amongst

fruit, red bananas, mangoes and other exotic fruit, we continue onto the
site of a cathedral built in 1874. Signifying a potent time in
Zanzibar's history, it stands on the site of a past slave market.
Abolished in 1873 by decree of the Sultan of Zanzibar, the cathedral's
altar stands on the exact site of the whipping post that was in the
market. From here we visit the Zanzibar Museum, Tippu Tip's House, the
former British Club, the Old Fort, People's Garden, House of Wonders and
the recently renovated Indian Dispensary. Your tour ends witha stroll
