BUTTERFLY CENTER 

Welcome to walk among the hundreds free-flying butterflies in the tropical garden of Zanzibar Butterfly Centre, one of the largest butterfly enclosure in East Africa.

The interactive and visual environment offers a pleasant experience for adults and children alike. You can be part of the feeding ritual and if you wish, let the butterflies fly close to your hand.

The tour can take 30 to 40 minutes where you can inspect the tiny butterfly eggs, touch and hold the hungry caterpillars and watch them nibble away at the leaves and get close-up view of the life cycle stages of some of the butterflies, starting with their curious cocoons.

Zanzibar Butterfly Centre is a popular Zanzibar tourist attraction, the Centre focuses on three areas, (educational visits, conservation and butterfly farming). It’s among the community based tourism attraction whereby revenue generated by visitors provides funds for locals.
