Zanzibar Mbweni Ruins Hotel - Nature Trail
Little swifts wheel about the sky above the hotel and ruins. They construct nests of feathers glued together with saliva. Lesser Striped Swallows also use the ruins to make their mud built nests in the eaves.
Passing through the car park,point 10, you may be lucky to see the Pink Shower trees in blossom (Cassia grandis). Near the road is an avenue of mixed Jacarandas and Pride of India trees, whose purple flowers complement each other when they bloom around November. There are two large Jackfruit trees on either side of the reception building. Please enter the reception and go right through. Turn left immediately at the veranda steps and follow a winding path past a small grove of shade-loving palms.
