In 1893 the former British prime minister of Zanzibar purchased the island and built a prison complex on it. But – it never served to its intended use! It was used as a quarantine station for yellow fever cases.
Today is the building a ruin, but it serves as a lovely guesthouse for tourists, where you’ll be able to relax a bit and enjoy magnificent views after visiting the giant tortoises’ reserve, where you will admire, pet, and even feed these magnificent, ancient, peaceful creatures. But – they are not locals! Four specimens of Aldabra giant tortoises were a gift from the governor of Seychelles in 1919.
They found Prison Island a great environment and bred freely. Today, many tortoises are welcoming you, and the first settlers are still among them! There is also a nursery for baby tortoises, where you can see baby tortoises of different ages. A great encounter for everyone, especially for kids!
Round up this great day with some snorkeling around the coral reefs, admire colorful fish, many beautiful starfish, and picturesque Seychelles. or simply relax on the white sandy beach. Dinner and overnight at Nungwi Dreams Hotel

I travelled in some parts of Africa when I was a student and it was the enjoyment of traveling in those few countries that encouraged me to share what I knew with my friends and family, After my studies from Uganda, my mother who is experienced retired tour operator assisted me to open Company for tourists from the scratch, I worked with her as a trainer, I started to get bookings and I found that I enjoyed planning their trips that started me as an independent, agent for my travel company. After my tour agent relocated, I became certified, bonded and licensed and started out on helping planning trips to Tanzania. Now as an independent tour agent, I focus my travel business on Zanzibar tours and Wildlife Safaris Tanzania mainland packages and I am very grateful to be part of the Africa Travellers Team..
