Prison Island and Nakupenda tour
Prison Island and Nakupenda Beach – explore Changuu also known as Prison Island which was intended to be a prison hosting criminals. Finish the trip at Nakupenda Sandbank beach
Actually, the Island is only 1 km in length and around 230 meters wide. Earlier, it had been owned by an Arab slave trader who wanted the Island to prevent slaves from escaping.
Later, there was a prion build in 1803 which was initially destined to be a house for criminals from the mainland. Next, the Island became a yellow fever quarantine station. You will be astonished to hear the fascinating history of the Island.
Visitors can see the authentic prison building. It still stands on the Island and is used as a guest house. The guide will explain this interesting history in detail. Although it never became a prison hosting criminals, it’s started to be home for giant
tortoises which were brought there from Seychelles in 1820. They were a gift from the Seychelles government. The prison has become a shelter for the animals. They became new dwellers of the prison cells.
This sanctuary contains creatures which are over 150 years old. You will get a chance to touch them and take a photo. The tortoises are very friendly, they come up close to socialize. On the Island you will also get to see stunning peacocks and have the
opportunity to snorkel and admire beautiful marine life. It’s a perfect place for topping up your tan and relaxing over the coast.
"We had the car for two weeks, and happy to say we had zero problems. Haji waited for us on the airport, he did our Tanzanian driving permit, explained everything, and we were ready to go. We drove around the island all the time, police stopped us few times, but just to check our driving licences, never made any problems. When back in ZNZ, will definitely hire from Haji again. Great service."
Customer
"My dad and I met Haji in Stone Town and he became a helpful guide to us for the rest of our time in Zanzibar. We booked a spice tour through his company and it was a great time! He even helped us get a ride to and from Nungwi and ferry tickets to Dar. He was very kind to us and met us for coffee to hear about our trip! If your ever in stone town, find Haji!"
Customer
"Haji booked us a few trips (e.g. to Jozani Forest) and organised car rental for us (for a day trip to Nungwi). He's been responsive, professional and has reasonable fees for his services. A good bet."
Customer
"We were recommended to rent a scooter and drive around the island during our one week holiday in Zanzibar. Getting in contact with Haji from the company was easy and he made sure that we got the local permit and everything together with the bike. It was delivered to our hotel half way across the island the next morning and we were given a brief tour and guided to Stone Town."
Customer
"We hired Mr.Haji and his driver for a trip to the spice farm. He showed up to our hotel on time and gaveus a lot of information about the history of Zanzibar. The spice your was AMAZING and should be on everyone's to-do list that is visiting Zanzibar, Stone Town area."

Customer
"Since we were travelling with our toddler, we had decided to hire a car. Haji was excellent and very re-assuring from the time we arrived at the airport, through the excellent Stone Town tour late into the evening, the Forest and Spice farm tour, and at the end when we returned the car at airport. We felt very safe as a family been with Haji. Asante sana my friend for a great Zani experience."
