AWS ZB 002.........Zanzibar Half day Prison Island
Also known as '', it's the most famous of the offshore islands.
This island was once owned by an Arab who used it for rebellious slaves.
Later it was sold to general Mathews who converted it into a prison. However
it has never been used as such. The island is also home to giant tortoises
which are supposed to have been brought over from Aldabra - an Atoll off
the Seychelles. The small beach disappears at high tide, but it is superb
to swim in the crystal clear water with splendid coral reefs. The island
itself is well-forested, nice for a walk, an ideal place for a day trip.
