About

Explore the Rich Heritage of Zanzibar’s Old Fort

The Old Fort, also called the Arab Fort, is located at the southern end of Stone Town, Zanzibar. Built in the late 17th century, it served as a defense against Portuguese invasion and later housed soldiers and prisoners. Today it stands as a cultural hub, hosting performances, exhibitions, and historical displays.

During your visit, a certified local guide will explain the fort’s architecture, history, and its role in Zanzibar’s past. You can also explore nearby attractions, including the Forodhani Gardens and local markets. The fort is just a short walk from Stone Town’s harbor, making it easily accessible for tourists staying nearby.

I was very impressed with the service and professionalism of Kenya Assist! Communication through What’sApp before my pick-up was fast and efficient, and all my questions were answered with ease. My driver, Gideon, was prompt and a pleasure to talk to on my trip from Nairobi to Emali!!! I highly recommend!
