we finished the safari portion of the trip, we flew to Zanzibar which has a truly fascinating cultural mix and a very interesting and sometimes sad history including being a major center for the African slave trade.  We spent one day touring Stone Town where we again we had a very knowledgeable guide, Talib, who made the information come to life.  During this tour we visited another school &#8211; this time a grade 1 class which was also very interesting and fun.  We also saw the house where Freddie Mercury of Queen lived as a boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\"
