3-Day Zanzibar Slave Trade Historical Trail Overview

3-Day Zanzibar Slave Trade Historical Trail is a carefully designed Tanzania safari experience for travelers who want wildlife, scenery, comfort and local guidance. The itinerary can be customized according to your travel dates, accommodation style, budget and special interests.

A historical trip through Stone Town focused specifically on Zanzibar's role in the East African slave trade, including the former slave market site and memorial, distinct from our general spice-and-culture Zanzibar tour.

This itinerary takes a different, more historically focused angle than our general Stone Town cultural tour: it centers on the sobering history of Zanzibar as one of the largest slave trading ports in East Africa, visiting the former slave market, underground holding chambers, and the Anglican cathedral built on the site as a memorial.
