Activity itinerary

Step back in time with a visit to Stone Town, the historical heart of Zanzibar. Begin your journey at the Old Market, which has been a vibrant hub since its opening in 1903. Divided into three sections—fish, meat, and vegetables & fruits—you'll be captivated by the colourful displays of fresh produce, exotic spices, and the lively buzz of local commerce. Outside, the fragrant aroma of spices fills the air, offering a glimpse into Zanzibar’s storied spice trade. Next, explore the House of Wonders (National Museum) to delve into the island’s rich history, followed by a visit to Tippu Tip House, the former home of the notorious 19th-century trader. Here, you’ll uncover Zanzibar's significant role in the global spice and slave trade. Stroll through narrow alleys, admiring the intricately carved wooden doors and balconies, & landmarks such as the Old Fort, a 17th-century fortress built to defend against Portuguese invaders. Visit the Palace Museum and the Old Dispensary, and make sure to stop by the Former Slave Market, a sobering reminder of the island's past. Conclude your journey with a stop at the Africa House (formerly the English Club), completing your exploration of Stone Town.
