THE TEMBO HOUSE
This historic building, whose name in Swahili means "elephant", is located on Stone Town's central beach. This magnificent building features a swimming pool on the patio and colorful stained-glass windows. The rooms are decorated with period furniture and antiques (paintings, telephones, etc.), a veritable museum. Built in the 19th century, this complex housed the first American consulate before becoming the headquarters of the Cowasjee Dinshaw and Brothers Company in 1880. Mahatma and Indira Gandhi, Freddy Mercury all passed through here.
