Prison Island - Changuu Private Island
If you book my experience at **Changuu Island (Prison Island) in Zanzibar**, you will see a very beautiful and interesting place. First, we take a short boat ride from Stone Town. The water is clear and blue, and the view is very nice. When we arrive at the island, you will see big giant tortoises. Some of them are over 100 years old! You can feed them and take photos with them. They move slowly and are very friendly. After that, we walk around and see the old prison building. It was never really used for prisoners, but later it was used as a place for people who were sick. I will tell you the history of the island and show you the important places. Then, we go to the beach. You can relax, swim in the warm ocean, or do some snorkeling to see colorful fish. The sand is white and soft. It is a peaceful and beautiful place. This experience is good for people who love nature, animals, history, and the ocean. You will enjoy your time on Prison Island
