Tippu Tip House
Tippu Tip House is an infamous late 19th-century mansion in the Shangani district of Stone Town. Built by Hamad bin Muhammad bin Juma bin Rajab el Murjebi, the powerful Afro-Omani ivory trader and slave merchant known as Tippu Tip, this grand decaying residence housed dozens of enslaved captives in subterranean vaults. Locals consider it one of the most intensely haunted buildings in Zanzibar, shadowed by tales of hidden treasure, dark curses, and spectral groans.
