Prison Island - Changuu Private Island
Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island, is an intriguing and essential stop in our Zanzibar tour. Despite its name, which suggests a dark history of incarceration, the island never actually housed prisoners. Instead, it was originally used as a quarantine station for yellow fever cases. Today, it stands as a peaceful haven, renowned for its gentle giant tortoises, some of whom are over a hundred years old. These tortoises, originally from the Seychelles, are a majestic sight and a highlight of the island.
During your visit to Prison Island, you'll have the chance, if you choose to interact with these amazing creatures, offering an up-close experience with one of nature's gentle giants. You can also see the remains of the old quarantine buildings, adding a touch of historical intrigue to your visit.
This visit to Prison Island is not just a journey through history and nature but also a chance to unwind. Admission to the island is not included in the price.

Nakupenda Beach Nature Reserve
Nakupenda Sandbank, the next jewel in our tour, is not only a haven of natural beauty but also the perfect spot for a delightful lunch and snorkeling adventure. This ephemeral sandbank, revealed at low tide off the coast of Zanzibar, is an idyllic location where 'Nakupenda' (meaning 'I love you' in Swahili) becomes a tangible experience. As you enjoy a sumptuous lunch on the pristine sands, surrounded by the Indian Ocean's azure waters, the tranquility of this paradise envelops you. Post-lunch, the sandbank transforms into an underwater wonderland for snorkeling enthusiasts. The clear waters offer a window to vibrant marine life and coral reefs, making it an unmissable experience. Whether basking in the sun, savoring a meal, or exploring the aquatic wonders, Nakupenda Sandbank promises unforgettable moments in your Zanzibar journey.
