Zanzibar’s main island of Unguja, off the coast of Dar-es-Salaam, is known for its unspoilt, white sandy beaches and a rich history to boost. But unknown to many, there is a smaller island known as Changuu or Prison Island.
Once the operating point of slave traders, Changuu Island is now where giant tortoises and peacocks live in a sanctuary. After the abolition of slave trade, which happened later after the rest of the world, the island was transformed into a government-owned tourist destination.
