PRISON ISLAND
Read morePrison Island owes its name to an Arab merchant who kept slaves here from Bagamoyo before selling them. A prison was built by the Sultan in 1893, but never used; its ruins can still be seen. The island is home to giant land tortoises, imported centuries ago from the Seychelles. Some are over 100 years old. The trick is to feed them and scratch their necks. There are also free-roaming peacocks, and the beach is superb. Combine with snorkeling around Bawe Island and grilling at the Nakupenda sandbar.
