Activity itinerary

The Old Fort (Ngome Kongwe)
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
At the Old Fort, or Ngome Kongwe, you will step into the oldest building in Stone Town, a formidable structure built in the 17th century by the Omani Arabs to defend against Portuguese invasion. This historic fort, with its thick stone walls and crenelated battlements, now serves as a vibrant cultural center. You’ll have the chance to explore its courtyard, where local artisans display their crafts, and learn about the fort's storied past, from its days as a military stronghold to its role as a prison and later as a venue for community events. The Old Fort offers a unique glimpse into Zanzibar's history and is a perfect place to soak in the local atmosphere, watch a live performance, or simply relax in the charming surroundings.
House of Wonders (Beit-el-Ajaib)
  • 15m
At the House of Wonders, one of Stone Town's most iconic landmarks, travelers will learn about Zanzibar’s rich history and cultural heritage. Originally built as a ceremonial palace for Sultan Barghash in the 19th century, it was the first building in East Africa to have electricity and an elevator, earning its name. While the building is currently under renovation, you’ll still hear fascinating stories about its unique blend of Omani and European architecture, its significance in Swahili culture, and Zanzibar’s history as a major trading hub across the Indian Ocean. Our guide will provide insights from the outside, ensuring you gain a deeper understanding of this remarkable site’s past and its impact on Zanzibar today.
Old Slave Market/Anglican Cathedral
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The Old Slave Market is a powerful and moving historical site where travelers can learn about Zanzibar's role in the East African slave trade. You’ll visit the underground slave chambers, see the chilling memorials, and explore the Anglican Cathedral, built over the former market site. Our guide will share stories of the enslaved people’s struggles and resilience, providing a deep and emotional understanding of this dark chapter in history.
Freddie Mercury Museum (Pass by)
As we pass by the Freddie Mercury House, you’ll catch a glimpse of the birthplace of the legendary Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury. Learn a bit about his early life in Zanzibar and his rise to global fame, adding a pop-culture twist to your tour as you continue through Stone Town.
People's Palace Museum (Pass by)
At the People's Palace, also known as Beit al-Sahel, you will explore the former residence of the Sultan of Zanzibar.
