- Zanzibar - Embark on an unforgettable journey in Zanzibar that blends the breathtaking beauty of Nakupenda Sandbank with the rich history of Prison Island (Changuu). Begin your adventure at Forodhani Gardens and sail across the shimmering turquoise waters to Nakupenda, a pristine sandbank that vanishes with the high tide.
