Overview
- The tour starts in the afternoon in Stone Town. Zanzibar Stone Town is a shopping heaven. Here
you can find a polyglot of goods from all over the world, especially from Africa, India, Arabia
and the Far East. There are boutiques and antique shops along Gizenga Street and on Kenyatta
Road near the old Post Office, which sell clothing and artefacts fashioned by Tanzanian and
Kenyan companies, as well as spices and essential oils, books, postcards, imported kangas, kitenges and jewelry, even music CDs with some of the popular local groups or Taarab music.
Tharia Street, behind the Anglican Cathedral, has some gold shops and there is wonderful
jewellery made from handmade beads and silver in shops on Gizenga Street and Sokomohogo
Square. Malindi and Kiponda streets have shops selling textiles and Mchangani Street has
hardware. There are shops in the Darajani area and across the Creek road towards Kiponda
which sell electronic equipment at good prices. Later in the evening you take a ride in one of our
traditional sailing boat of the type used for centuries for carrying cargo between Zanzibar and the
Arabian Gulf. The boat ride will give you an insight into the real Zanzibar. Our boats are
equipped with safety equipment, sunshade, snorkeling equipment and boarding ladder. Sit back
and relax, enjoy the Zanzibar breezes and crystal clear turquoise waters while sipping a drink
accompanied with bites/snacks.

Tour Plan
NOTE :
Please don't buy any products made from endangered species, such as shells,
ivory and tortoiseshell. Doing so definitely makes the threat to fragile marine and land
environments in Africa much worse. We advise clients to bring waterproof shoes for
boarding the dhows and to bring towels, sunscreen and a spare T-shirt for snorkeling.
