Next, venture to Kuza Cave, a sacred and historically significant site that offers a glimpse into Zanzibar's rich Swahili culture. This limestone cave, with its crystal-clear natural spring, is believed to have healing properties. Take a dip in the cool, fresh waters of the cave and marvel at the stunning rock formations that have formed over centuries.
