Overview

The 30-minute boat journey from Stone Town takes you to the coastline of one of Africa's most notorious islands, leaving behind the narrow lanes of the old city. When you get to Changuu Island, your guide will tell you about the area's colourful history, including the jail facility, which is still standing. Today, the island is home to some of Zanzibar's oldest citizens, descendants of the Aldabra giant tortoises, which were a gift from the Seychelles government to the people of Zanzibar; some of them are said to be over a century old. If you look closely, you might see butterflies, bats, and even the shy duiker. The island is surrounded by coral reefs, and your guide will make sure you have snorkelling equipment so you can splash around in the shallows and wonder at the colourful marine life, or simply relax on the soft sands.
