As exotic the name sounds, it really is; Zanzibar archipelago consists of Unguja (also called Zanzibar) Pemba and a number of islets adjacent to them. The heavenly beaches, the tangled streets of Stone Town and the sensory delights of the spice market has been tempting traders for hundreds of years and many tourists from across the globe in the modern era.

Day 2:- Cultural Tour

Alive with the buzz of locals bartering fresh vegetables and baskets of tropical fruit, amongst the heady smell of Jack fruit (and many other exotic fruits) we continue on to the site of the cathedral built in 1874. The cathedral signifies a potent time in Zanzibar’s history and stands on the sight of a past slave market, its high altar standing on the exact site of the whipping post. Slavery was abolished in 1873 through a decree passed by the then current Sultan of Zanzibar. From here we visit the residence of the late Sultans of Zanzibar, ‘Tip Tip House’, the Old Fort, ‘Peoples Palace’ and the House of Wonders’, full of intrigue and vivid history from a bygone era.
