Prison Island and Nakupenda Sandbank Tour from Stone Town.
For travelers seeking a perfect mix of history, wildlife, and island paradise, Top Africa Safari invites you to experience the Prison Island and Nakupenda Sandbank Tour from Stone Town. You’ll start your day in Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar, where narrow streets, spice markets, and centuries-old architecture set the tone for your adventure. From there, a private boat will take you across sparkling waters to Prison Island (Changuu). You’ll explore the colonial-era ruins, learn fascinating stories of the island’s past, and meet the famous giant Aldabra tortoises up close. Next, your journey continues to the breathtaking Nakupenda Sandbank, a pristine stretch of white sand surrounded by turquoise waters. Here, you can snorkel among colorful fish, sunbathe, or enjoy a freshly prepared seafood lunch served by the crew. As the tide changes, you’ll witness the sandbank gradually disappearing beneath the waves, a truly magical and unforgettable experience.
