Stone Town
This exotic City, a world heritage site, was the trading Centre of East
Africa for slaves, ivory and spices in the 18th and 19th Century and
was the starting point of the great expeditions into the heart of Africa
by the explorers Stanley and Livingstone. The narrow streets lined with
Arabic palaces are still perfumed with the scent of exotic spices and
alive with the cry of the muezzin. Chapwani is a perfect base for discovering
the whole of Zanzibar and spice tours and excursions can be arranged
