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!

Tour Guide- Jabir Ali
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.
