Overview
This tour will take you to the earlier capital of the island (KIZIMKAZI) where traces of an old Shiraz settlement (probably a fort) may be seen in an enclosure surrounded by a wall near the seashore. Near the walled enclosure is an ACIETN MOSQUE where an inscription records that the mosque was built in A.H.500 (A.D 1107) by a Sheikh Seyyid bin amra, who appears to have been a local ruler. Out –side the mosque is a well and graves of sheriffs (descendants of the prophet). You will then proceed to a small fishing village where you will be taken for a boat ride in a motorized local boat in search of dolphins (85% chance). You will also get the chance to go snorkeling and see some of the beautiful sea life around Zanzibar.
