Island is a historical island once used for the detention of recalcitrant
slaves. Today Giant Tortoises, some over 100 years old, act as

is the only remaining natural forest on Unguja Island. Covering
an area of 10 sq km it consists of high forest, swamp forest and

Leopard and two antelope species - the Zanzibar Duiker and Suni.

Along
a beautiful stretch of white sandy beach lies a hidden cove said
to be used for hiding slaves after their export was forbidden
in 1873. Enjoy lunch and time to swim or relax on the beach.

010 Z - Dolphin Extravaganza
From
Fumba we proceed by local boats into the waters of the Island
in search of the Dolphin. Chances are that you could find a pod
and be able to swim with these curious and gentle creatures. Swahili
barbecue lunch will be served on a nearby desert island and have
time to relax before returning to the mainland.
