A relaxing day on the Indian Ocean, on a small island, on the western coast, Changwu is a charming little island with quite of a history. It was a private place of detention for recalcitrant slaves. In 1883, a jail was built on the island, thus its name ―Prison Island‖. The jail was never in great use, and the ruins can still be seen. The island has become a small tourist resort, where you can relax, walk around see the Giant Aldabara Tortoises or beautiful peacocks, swim or snorkel around the coral reefs.
Our guides will take you throughout the small streets of Stone town, help you bargain your souvenirs and antics to take back home. Ideally combined with Prison Island and the Dhow Sunset Cruise
The Dhow is a traditional sailing boat of the type used for centuries for carrying cargo between Zanzibar and the Arabian Gulf. She has been converted into a beautifully restored sailing vessel, which will give you an insight into the real Zanzibar. She is equipped with safety equipment, sunshade, snorkeling equipment and boarding ladder. She is approximately 40 feet long and a crew of 6 will ensure your safety and comfort on board. Sit back and relax, enjoy the Zanzibar breezes and crystal clear turquoise waters. Try your hand at fishing with a local fisherman, have lunch on a sandbank, swim and snorkel. Every day we offer a sunset cruise or an island hop including drinks and food. Private charters are also available on request.
Once the whole of the Island was covered in a rich tapestry of swamp forest, evergreen thicket and mangrove now all that remains is Jozani Forest. Despite this fact Jozani still boasts an eclectic Bio-diversity, with many strange and wonderful animals residing in and below the canopy of old giants. Red Colobus monkeys are the most famous inhabitants of the forest; sub-species only found on this island, they can be seen calmly lazing around or fooling amongst themselves in the branches, their red coats a reminder of British colonial rule. But keep your eyes open and you may be lucky enough to see Sunnis (small deer), chameleons or even the Zanzibar Leopard!! (Well very lucky as they were wiped out by the government in the 1960’s to stem the spread of black magic practices… but strange things happen in these parts)
Kizimkazi nestles snuggly on the Southern tip of the Island, it offers idyllic snorkeling and coastal views and an ideal starting point to spot Bottlenose and spinner dolphins. These magnificent animals school in the rich hunting grounds of the cove, employing their cunning to feed their growing appetites. Dolphins are frequently seen in this cove but like all wild animals there is never a guarantee that they will appear.
