HIGHLIGHTS
- Learn about the slave trade history

The Zanzibar slave chambers, tunnels connecting caves to the seaside, were built around 1880 and were a transit point for the captured slaves to be sold to the outside world. Learn more about the history of slaving in Zanzibar by visiting these historic slave chambers and other relevant spots on this slave history tour.
The three-hours guided tour begins and ends at your resort. The tour first goes to Kelele Square, where you can walk along the alleys of Stone Town to the house of former trader Tippu Tip. Then proceed to biggest market at Mkunazini (Stone Town) where slaves were cruelly whipped before being auctioned. The tour will then take you to visit the house of Dr. David Livingstone, who campaigned for the abolition of slavery which marked its end in 1873. The last stop is at Mangapwani chamber where slaves were kept waiting for monsoon winded boats to fetch them and to be exiled.
