2004 Former Stone town slave market , Anglican Christ church & Hamamni Persian Baths
Former Stone Town Slave Market in Zanzibar. Zanzibar had the last legally operating slave market in the world.
What now stands on the site? The Anglican Cathedral Church of Christ. The former whipping tree is marked at the altar by a white marble circle surrounded by red to symbolise the blood of the slaves.
They built the Anglican Christ Church on top of the old slave market auction area. In the exact location where the whipping post was is now the center of the alter. There is also a cross inside made from the tree where Dr. Livingston is buried in Zambia. He died of malaria, naturally.
When entering the church, look at the marble pillars. They were imported as a gift from Italy and the engineer put the first ones in upside down. As a result they put all of them upside down for uniformity. Also has one of only two special types of organs in Africa, other in Cape Town, South Africa.
All slaves would have to spend 3 days in those cramped and horrible conditions to separate the weak from the strong. Many weak died in those chambers as they gave the slaves barely enough food and water to survive. The channels in the middle were used as bathrooms and the chambers were connected to the ocean by a small tunnel.

Zanzibar Travel Guide - Tanzania paradise
Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous archipelago off the coast of Tanzania consisting of Zanzibar Island (locally, Unguja), Pemba Island and many smaller islands. Zanzibar Island is the main island in the Tanzanian archipelago of Zanzibar. Stone Town, part of Zanzibar City, is an old trade center, with mosques and winding lanes. The 1883 House of Wonders is a former sultan’s palace with a clock tower.
The Old Fort now houses a cultural center and a stone amphitheater. Underground aqueducts fed hot water to the late-19th-century Hamamni Persian Baths. Zanzibar island itself is approximately 90km long and 40km wide. In 1896, Zanzibar was the location of the world's shortest war, surrendering to Britain after 38 minutes of naval bombardment.
Cities of Zanzibar:
Stone Town – the vibrant and enchanting capital
Nungwi – at the northern tip of the island. Very popular with tourists since swimming in the ocean is possible even at low tide.
Kendwa – a few km south of Nungwi, also very popular with tourists.
Matemwe – a small traditional village in the North East.
Paje – the liveliest village on the South East coast known for excellent kiteboarding conditions
Jambiani – a small fishing village on the southeast coast
Michamvi – the remotest village on the South East coast known for great sunset beach and the coolest bar on Zanzibar, Kae Beach.
Makunduchi : at the south east tip of the island. 70 km from Stone Town.
Kizimkazi : small fishing village famous for the Dolphin tours.
There is a lot to see and to do on Zanzibar island. First and foremost, do enjoy the amazing white sand beaches especially at the north, east and south coast. The sand has the consistency of castor sugar! The best beaches are Nungwi/Kendwa, Matemwe/Kiwengwa and Paje/Jambiani, each offering different appeal.
The inner city of Stone town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, is a most unique city. Blending Moorish, Middle Eastern, Indian, and African traditions and architectures, it is possible to spend days winding through Stone Town's labyrinthine alleys.

Zenzational Zanzibar
A short recap video of our time in Zanzibar, Tanzania.
Following our safari in the Serengeti, we flew to the Zanzibar island group off the coast of Tanzania. We stayed for a few days in historic Stone Town, touring its labyrinth alleys, the former slave trading outpost and markets and even going to another island for a picnic and snorkeling. We also stayed on the east side of Zanzibar, in Pongwe Bay. We went diving and snorkeling in the warm and clear blue waters of Mnemba Atoll, a place teeming with amazing sea life and underwater wonders. I also had the opportunity to visit a farm where they grew spices and tropical fruits and vegetables. Finally, I visited Prison Island (Changuu), a former site of a slave prison that was converted to a quarantine station for malaria and yellow fever. Now it's a tortoise sanctuary where you can observe tortoises brought over from Seychelles - some of them over 100 years old!
Stone Town ( Mji Mkongwe ) in Zanzibar Tanzania
Stone Town, also known as Mji Mkongwe, is the old part of Zanzibar City, the main city of Zanzibar, in Tanzania. Stone Town is located on the western coast of Unguja, the main island of the Zanzibar Archipelago.
Zanzibar- The Old Dispensary 17.11.2016
The Old Indian Dispensary (also called Isna’ashri Dispensary) is an historical and one of the most beautiful buildings of Zanzibar. It is located on the seafront near Ferry Terminal on Mizingani Road. It was got built as a charitable hospital by an Ismaili trader from India named Tharia Topan as part of Golden Jubilee celebrations of Queen Victoria. The construction was sterted in 1887 and completed in 1894. The Dispensary is a beautiful building with ornate carved balconies, stucco work and stained glass windows. As a result of Zanzibar Revolution in 1964, the dispensary stopped working and building was occupied by revolutionary forces. The Agha Khan Trust for Culture took over the building in 1990 for renovation and restored the building in 1994 as a fine symbol of the multi-cultural architecture and heritage of the Zanzibar Town. It is a must see place in Zanzibar.

Hotel Verde Zanzibar – Azam Luxury Resort and Spa opens its doors to the public
Unguja, also known as Zanzibar Island, is the main island in the Tanzanian archipelago of Zanzibar: a beautiful slice of heaven located in the Indian Ocean 15 miles off the coast of Tanzania, boasting soft sand, white beaches and shimmering azure waters – a breath-taking place to escape from the world. With tourism on the increase and the improved popularity of Zanzibar as a holiday destination, and, more recently, an investment opportunity, you would be remiss not to add this island to your travel agenda (or investment portfolio).
The many beautiful hotels dotted along the coastline cater for leisure and holiday-makers, corporate and conference groups, incentive and domestic travellers catering to any pocket and with many more hotels, resorts and spas under construction and planned for, the area promises to become the destination of choice for any and all travellers.
Zanzibar is so much more than romantic coastlines and sunsets, she is an island rich in culture with great diversity in wildlife – plenty to see and do and a kaleidoscope of sights, smells, tastes, touch and sounds to fuel the soul. Known as the spice island, Zanzibar’s Spice Tour is a feast for the senses, taking you to a variety of small farms in the rural area to sample vanilla, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper, aniseed, bay leaves, chili, coriander, ginger, turmeric, lemongrass and other spices as well as farms that grow tropical fruits (such as Jackfruit and soda soda berries), medicinal and ornamental plants.
Owner of the 106-roomed Hotel Verde Zanzibar – Azam Luxury Resort & Spa which opened on 21 March 2018, Mr Said Salim Awadh Bakhresa said that he chose this particular piece of paradise due to the increasing popularity of the area as a holiday destination and to fulfil his vision of becoming a leader in building East Africa’s greenest hotel and promoting responsible tourism. With his deep roots in the community, he added that he wants to give back and contribute to tourism and job creation in a positive way.
He went on to say that by commissioning Verde Hotels, a sustainable hotel management company, he was able to incorporate and employ green building elements, strategies and practices that will benefit the environment, the locals and guests. By sourcing from local suppliers – from food to staff, amenities and logistics – they are able to support the community, the economy and responsible tourism.
The hotel is situated 2km from the popular and ever-developing Stone Town where African tradition combines with Persian, Indian, Arab and European influences in the historic buildings, architecture and spectacularly carved wooden doors. The island has an incredible history so be sure to make time to visit the National Museum, the town market, The Old Fort and Cultural Centre, Hamamni Persian Baths or the Old Dispensary, Sultan Palace, The House of Wonders, the old Slave Market or any one of the fifty-one beautiful mosques.
So whatever your reason for visiting her shores, be it for health and wellness, water sports, to attend a wedding or conference, indulge in a romantic getaway, take time out with the family or to experience the food, culture and wildlife, you are hard-pressed to find something Zanzibar cannot offer – it’s the exciting thing to do.
