What exactly is Salaam Cave? Salaam Cave Tours is located in Kizimkazi Dimbani, southern Zanzibar. The cave is a natural limestone formation with a pool of clear water inside. Sources describe it as a natural coastal/limestone cave, and the site is operated as a tourist attraction and turtle aquarium. The main attraction is that visitors can enter the pool and see/feed turtles at close range. The turtles are presented by the operators as rescued animals. How was the cave formed? The cave is associated with Zanzibar's coral-limestone geology. Over long periods, water gradually dissolves and erodes limestone, creating underground cavities and pools. So it isn't a man-made swimming pool, it is a natural geological formation that has been adapted for visitors. The attraction is locally known as Salaam Cave, but the sources I found do not give a reliable historical explanation for the origin of the name "Salaam." So I wouldn't want to invent a story about its name. even though Salaam means peace in Swahili language. One important thing to know Recent visitor reports are mixed. Some people describe the turtle experience positively, while others have raised concerns about crowding, turtle welfare, and turtles biting visitors when being fed. So if you visit, it's sensible to follow the guides' instructions, avoid grabbing or chasing the turtles, and be aware that turtles can bite. It’s a half day trip so you are allowed to visit in the morning after breakfast or afternoon The price include the entrance fee , transport charges
