Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Ved det gamle fort, eller Ngome Kongwe, vil du træde ind i den ældste bygning i Stone Town, en formidabel struktur bygget i det 17. århundrede af de omanske arabere for at forsvare dig mod portugisisk invasion. Dette historiske fort, med dets tykke stenmure og kannelerede kampe, fungerer nu som et pulserende kulturcenter. Du får chancen for at udforske dens gårdhave, hvor lokale håndværkere viser deres kunsthåndværk og lære om fortets historie, fra dets dage som en militær højborg til dets rolle som fængsel og senere som mødested for samfundsbegivenheder. Det gamle fort giver et unikt indblik i Zanzibars historie og er et perfekt sted at nyde den lokale atmosfære, se en liveoptræden eller blot slappe af i de charmerende omgivelser.
På House of Wonders, et af Stone Towns mest ikoniske vartegn, vil rejsende lære om Zanzibars rige historie og kulturelle arv. Oprindeligt bygget som et ceremonielt palads for Sultan Barghash i det 19. århundrede, var det den første bygning i Østafrika, der havde elektricitet og en elevator, hvilket fik sit navn. Mens bygningen i øjeblikket er under renovering, vil du stadig høre fascinerende historier om dens unikke blanding af omansk og europæisk arkitektur, dens betydning i Swahili-kulturen og Zanzibars historie som et vigtigt handelscentrum på tværs af Det Indiske Ocean. Vores guide vil give indsigt udefra, hvilket sikrer, at du får en dybere forståelse af dette bemærkelsesværdige websteds fortid og dets indflydelse på Zanzibar i dag.
Det gamle slavemarked er et stærkt og bevægende historisk sted, hvor rejsende kan lære om Zanzibars rolle i den østafrikanske slavehandel. Du vil besøge de underjordiske slavekamre, se de kølige mindesmærker og udforske den anglikanske katedral, bygget over det tidligere markedsplads. Vores guide vil dele historier om de slavegjorte menneskers kampe og modstandskraft, hvilket giver en dyb og følelsesmæssig forståelse af dette mørke kapitel i historien.
Når vi passerer forbi Freddie Mercury House, får du et glimt af fødestedet for den legendariske Queen-frontmand, Freddie Mercury. Lær lidt om hans tidlige liv på Zanzibar og hans opståen til global berømmelse, og tilføj et popkulturelt twist til din tur, mens du fortsætter gennem Stone Town.
Ved People's Palace, også kendt som Beit al-Sahel, vil du udforske Sultanen af Zanzibars tidligere residens. Nu et museum, viser det Zanzibars kongelige families overdådige livsstil med udstillinger med originale møbler, historiske fotografier og artefakter. Du vil gå gennem overdådige værelser, lære om øens kongelige arv og få indsigt i Zanzibars fascinerende fortid fra vores ekspertguider.

Mady was a great guide. Really interesting walking tour full of local and historical knowledge. He was friendly, happy to answer and questions and was prompt and polite in communicating the meeting time/ place. I am travelling solo so it was great to see areas of Stone Town which I wouldn't necessarily have felt comfortable heading to on my own. The tour offered a lot packed into 3 hours and there was the added comfort of being met and dropped back at my hotel afterwards.
Thanks Laura.
This is a good orientation tour for those visiting Stone Town for first time. Our guide, Hamad, was highly knowledgeable and covered the history of Stone Town and the island as well as covering some of local culture.
Thank you so much
Excellent visit with Fadhili via Safe Zanzibar Tour. He took the time to explain, in a very good French, it was very nice! I recommend
Merci.
The guide, Mady, did a great job in sharing details about the history, architecture and culture of Stone Town. He stayed as long as I wanted at places of interest. He also made recommendations for dinner options.
Thank you for your supportive feedback
Great trip, very informative and child friendly. Nice long walk along all of Znz for 2 hours. The best part was the end at the night food market! Asante Hamad.
We appreciate
It is definitely worth setting aside a morning or afternoon for this. Beautiful narrow streets with an ancient history , here you can see various styles such as Persian , Indian , Arabic and Africa , beautiful cultures that come together here , not to mention the Freddy Mercury museum , is not big but worth it.You can take a guide but you can also install the app maps.me on your phone and download the maps of Tansania , mark your starting point and walk.
Thank you Berry
Mady was great! He met me at the port after getting off my ferry from Dar es Salaam. He gave me a thorough overview of the history of Zanzibar before embarking on our tour that made the experience that more enjoyable! He was knowledgeable about all facets of the history and answered all my questions.
We appreciate
Communication was very timely and clear. The guide suggested we start later so we could see the night market. They picked us up from our hotel on time which was way up north for an extremely reasonable rate, much lower than some of the others. Our guide Mady was very knowledgeable on the history of Zanzibar and the tour was very interesting. I stopped at a bank ATM to get cash and the ATM held my card because I took too long to figure out how much to withdraw so Madi helped us speak to the manager and to email a copy of my passport and waited with us for close to an hour until they gave us my card back. The tour went on more than the booked time because of that and we were very grateful for his help. I would love to take the tour again and see more of the city next time but we ran out of time and energy. They were very friendly and helpful and patient as I was traveling with my mother who was getting tired. I would recommend using this company for all their excursions!
Thank you for your good feedback. Have a great day.
Hamad (Mado) our guide was knowledgeable and very nice guy to take us around the stone town. It was indeed a fun and informative tour with Hamad and i do recommend him highly.
