THE SWAHILI HOUSE
Read moreLocated near the Darajani market in old Stone Town, this Swahili mansion stands out for its history and its height, far superior to other houses. Built by a wealthy Indian merchant in the 19th century, the house was home to several sultan families over 125 years before becoming a hotel. All our guides take their groups on a tour of the house's hall and rooftop terrace, with its open-air restaurant and fabulous view over Stone Town.
