Zanzibar Prison Island Tour
Overview
Prison Island Zanzibar, often referred to as Changuu Island, is a little island that spans 5.6 kilometers. Despite its troubled past, Tanzania’s Changuu island has emerged as a must-see gem, with its main draw being a large tortoise sanctuary.
The name Prison Island originated from the initial planning of establishing a prison. It was actually used for a brief time in the 1860s as a prison for rebellious slaves and a coral mine. No prison institutions were actually built on the island but rather became a quarantine station for yellow fever cases.

Shoot a photograph of the Zanzibari Doors
Zanzibar doors are extremely extraordinary that you don’t want to miss as they are historic. While a few doors and structures are capitulating to destroy, there are as yet huge numbers of the first doors flawless, elaborately beautified, and have implications behind them.
The most popular and great door is the one at Tippu Tip’s House, a Zanzibarian slave and ivory dealer from the eighteenth century. Most tourists take photographs with these doors.
