Description
Nature lovers, snorkelers, divers, and people interested in Swahili culture should all add a visit to Kuza Cave in Jambiani, East Coast Zanzibar.
Nature lovers, snorkelers, divers, and people interested in Swahili culture should all add a visit to Kuza Cave in Jambiani, East Coast Zanzibar, to their bucket list. This unique cave sinkhole is surrounded by a small jungle and offers an amazing adventure.
The circular shape of the cave is 500 meters round and was formed over 250,000 years ago from rainwater eroding limestone. As you cross the small bridge, you will be welcomed by stairs that lead into this underground oasis. Make sure to bring your camera too because there are excellent opportunities for photography!
At the base of the cave, you will discover a crystal clear pool made from seepage from underground water tables and subterranean rivers. The fresh (sweet) water is cold but refreshing! Every few days, locals use this area as an altar to make offerings to the spirits that live in the cave and request their support.
Aside from humans, Kuza Cave also attracts lots of wildlife, such as red colobus monkeys, vervet monkeys, and sky monkeys that can often be seen visiting the cave. It’s worth it for nature lovers too!
