There is no better location or way to gain insight into Zanzibar’s culture than to take a trip to Muyuni village in the southern region of the island and observe the way of life of its residents. As you interact with the villagers while they are engaged in their skilled activities of mat and basket weaving, Makuti plating, and rope making, you will learn about the local culture, traditions, and artisanship.

You can also take in nature’s own artistic creations at the nearby Ngonga Cave, which has been weathered and chiseled into fascinating subterranean hallways, cavities, and corridors.

Ngonga Cave is the sanctuary of vampire bats, more scary for their name than in reality. More eerie still, local folklore has it that this cave is also a favourite with spirits and ghosts. Will you dare find out for yourself?
