Off the coast of Zanzibar, Changuu Island, also known as Prison Island, holds a rich history and natural beauty. Originally intended to house a prison in the late 19th century, the structure was repurposed as a yellow fever quarantine station. Today, visitors can explore the remnants of this historical site, set against the backdrop of the island’s serene beaches. The island’s blend of past and present invites exploration, from the weathered stone walls of the quarantine station to the tranquil shores that beckon relaxation.
