Hidden gems: Explore mystical caves in Zanzibar

Beneath the spicy archipelago of Zanzibar that has captivated the world with its white sandy beaches and ancient Swahili-Arab beauty lie underground caves in Pemba and Unguja that are often overshadowed and hardly marketed for tourists, away from the platitude of the everyday tourism activities, these caves are a must-visit for the adventure seekers.

In Pemba mostly, one would think that this underworld is almost kept out of the tourists’ prying eyes. The limestone caves are strongly connected with local spiritual beliefs, practices, and history.
