Half-Day Zanzibar Slave Trade Exploration
Beginning our journey at Kelele Square, we'll traverse the storied alleys of Stone Town, eventually arriving at the residence of the legendary trader, Tippu Tip. Continuing onward, we'll immerse ourselves in the bustling atmosphere of Mkunazini, the largest market in the area, where the echoes of a tragic past reverberate—a stark reminder of the cruelty of slavery, where individuals endured unspeakable hardships before being sold at auction. Our next stop takes us to the home of Dr. David Livingstone, a stalwart champion in the fight against slavery. His unwavering commitment to abolitionism played a crucial role in the eventual eradication of the abhorrent trade in 1873. Continuing our exploration, we'll visit the evocative Maruhubi Ruins, where a somber history unfolds. Within these crumbling walls, 99 enslaved women once performed for the pleasure of the Arab Sultan of Zanzibar, their dignity stripped away within the opulent confines of his palace. Finally, we'll conclude our tour at the Mangapwani chamber, a solemn site where enslaved individuals endured agonizing waits, anticipating the arrival of boats that would carry them into exile—a poignant conclusion to their arduous journey through the depths of human suffering.
