Escape to Prison Island: Where History Meets Tropical Beauty

Changuu Island, Stone Town City, Urban/West Region, Zanzibar - Tanzania

Start this memorable day with an unforgettable boat ride across the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean to the enchanting Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island. Once a somber site of slave internment and a colonial-era quarantine station, the island now offers visitors a chance to step back in time while surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. As you arrive, you’ll be greeted by soft white sands, swaying palm trees, and turquoise waters that set the tone for an exotic island escape. Walk through the haunting remnants of the old prison buildings, whose coral-stone walls whisper tales of the past, and explore the small museum that sheds light on the island’s complex history.

Beyond its historical intrigue, Prison Island is also a haven for wildlife and serenity. Get up close with the island’s most famous residents — the Aldabra Giant Tortoises, some of whom are over 150 years old. These gentle giants roam freely under the shade of ancient trees in a Lush Forest Sanctuary. Birdwatchers and nature lovers will appreciate the vibrant ecosystem, home to peacocks, butterflies, and tropical birds. Take a swim in the warm waters, snorkel among vibrant coral reefs, or simply relax and take in panoramic views of Stone Town across the bay. Whether you're a history buff, a nature enthusiast, or a beach lover, Prison Island offers an enriching experience like no other.
