Zanzibar Prison Island

Prison Island is an isolated island that is located off the coast of Stone Town in Shangani, Zanzibar City. The island is well known for its history as a prison, as well as its natural beauty and wildlife. It is a great place to visit if you are interested in history, nature, or photography.

You will visit the giant old tortoise, the beautiful colorful peacock, the swing on the crystal clear sea, and the snorkeling. Changuu Island has been used for a variety of purposes over the centuries, one of which has been as a medical quarantine outpost. It has been a place where people who are sick or who may be carrying diseases have been isolated from the rest of the population.

It is now a popular tourist destination and wildlife sanctuary. Visitors can enjoy the natural beauty and wildlife of the area. The architecture of the island’s buildings is beautiful and colorful, and it’s a must-see while on the island. Additionally, the island’s landscape is lush and green, and it’s a great place to hike or bike.

Changuu Island’s tortoise sanctuary is one of the island’s most popular attractions. The sanctuary is home to a variety of tortoises, as well as a number of other animals. Visitors can enjoy watching the tortoises frolic in their habitats, or explore the many other attractions on the island. Only four Aldabra giant tortoises (Aldabrachelys gigantea), native to the Seychelles, have given birth to hundreds of offspring. The Aldabra tortoises are second only in size to Galapagos giant tortoises, and as a result, their populations are particularly vulnerable to extinction.

Visiting the sanctuary and feeding the tortoises is an enjoyable experience. The tiny dik dik antelope and peacocks are also brought to the sanctuary, and their presence is a delight. Take in stunning views of Stone Town, and wander along a wooden pier while enjoying the pleasant sounds of the waves. This is a great spot to relax and take in the natural beauty the island. There are many activities to enjoy on the island, including swimming in the clear waters and snorkeling off the beaches.
