TanzaniaStone Town, Prison, and Nakupenda
Time: 08:00.
Days: as scheduled.
Duration: 11 hours.
Meeting point: hotel.
Program:
Morning gathering at the hotel and departure to Stone Town harbor by comfortable transport. Here you will have an internal tour of the Anglican Cathedral, visit the slave chambers and the sculpture dedicated to the tortured slaves.
Next, by boat, you will travel to Prison Island. It looks like an earthly paradise inhabited by colorful starfish, but in the nineteenth century a prison was built here, later used as a quarantine hospital. For many, visiting Prison Island is mainly interesting because of the opportunity to interact with giant tortoises. You will have enough time to feed, pet, and photograph these enormous land tortoises.
Afterwards, you will head to Nakupenda Island. It appears from the water only for a limited time, which is why it’s called the "Disappearing" island. On board the boat, fruits and drinks will be offered to you. Upon arrival, you can rest and relax.
A seafood lunch will be served. Lobsters, shrimps, squids, octopuses, fish, and side dishes — the chef team will grill everything to perfection for you.
Free time on the Disappearing Island. A unique chance to enjoy the scenery, swim, and take unforgettable photos.
Departure by boat back to Stone Town. You will enjoy a guided tour of the Stone Town with a Russian-speaking guide. Stone Town is famous for its colorful Arab and Indian doors, the Old Fort, and the house where the legendary Freddie Mercury was born. You will see all the highlights on a walking tour.
Free time for souvenir shopping, currency exchange, etc.
