    You get to Salaam caves, they give you seaweed, and you go down steps into the caves where there are turtles in the water, you get in the water with them and you hand feed them the seaweed, It’s great fun but you only have 30 mins with them which goes by to quick, try to get there early before to many people turn up, When you come out there is changing facilities and a shower so you can change your clothes which is good. Also shop and restaurant there to have a drink and take in the views,

    A truly horrible experience as a defender of animal rights and against their abuse. Many people complained that more turtles had bitten them, a normal reaction if they are stressed in a small pool full of people. Moreover, the team working there is aggressive and rude.

    We were a bit disappointed at first when we saw a small natural pool with many people among the turtles. Personal contact with the Schildies, including feeding, was then really an unforgettable experience. We were in the south of the island. You would have actually gotten there with the rental car and could have parked calmly. The journey was more expensive than the entrance fee.

  • Median satisfaction with the paid price.

    For the price paid for experience and time, in my opinion, the satisfaction is median. I was expecting a little more. The place was crowded with people, which damaged the experience.

  • Tortoise Cave

    The beauty of nature. A wonder from Zanzibar. Fun and exciting. It's fun seeing the tortoise swimming and dancing round you while feeding them with the sea weeds. Clean water is a beautiful sight. The chirping of the birds cohabiting the cave with the tortoises add some extra layers of beautiful sounds.

  • A good experience

    A unique and enjoyable experience. A great opportunity to get up close to some beautiful turtles. Your given seaweed to feed to them as part of entrance price, showers and toilets are available for use. Beware steps down to the cave are steep and narrow worth considering if you have mobility issues. The decking area in the cave can get crowed and busy but isn’t a huge issue. Numbers management and getting up and down the steps is slightly chaotic again not a significant issue.
