Princess Salme Inn is in the heart of stone town, near harbour port area called Malindi, along Dega street the perfect narrow streets of Stone Town of Zanzibar, full of fine of buildings of the Swahili coastal trading towns of East Africa. The building went massive restoration from September last year to June 2023. The neighborhood retains its urban fabric and townscape virtually intact and contains many fine buildings that reflect its particular culture, which has brought together and homogenized disparate elements of the cultures of Africa, the Arab region, India, and Europe over more than a millennium. There is a lot to enjoy in this town ranging from visiting the town market, slave market, National Museum of Zanzibar, High Court Building, Slave chambers, old German Consulate, Africa House (former English Club), Tip-Tip House, Kelele Square, old British Consulate, Orphanage Home, Old Fort, Forodhani Gardens, House of Wonders, Sultans Palace (now a Museum), Customs House, the Old Dispensary are among the informative attractions on this flexible guided tour in and around Zanzibar Town. There are also other many activities out of stone town to enjoy your stay through tours which can be arranged by the help of the hotel such as The Jozani Forest & Dolphin Tour, Spice Tour, Safari Blue, Prison Island Tour and Mangapwani.
