Stone Town - Livingstone House

Livingstone's House was built in 1860 for Sultan Majid. It became a base for missionaries and explorers before they headed to the mainland. It is remembered as the place where David Livingstone stayed in 1866 before his last expedition. Since this time, the Livingstone House has served as a laboratory researching clove production, a resting place for invalids and was used for religious meetings by the Ithnaasheri Khoja Community. Currently it is the home of the Zanzibar Tourist Board.

The living quarters are not open to tourists.
