The World's BIGGEST TURTLES In AFRICA (Zanzibar Prison Island, Tanzania)
I had recently arrived to the island of Zanzibar in Tanzania located off the coast of the country. My flight took me to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia form Stockholm, and then to the international airport in Zanzibar. I had been in Stone Town for a bit and exploring the island but would go out to a famous island called Prison Island where you have the worlds biggest turtles called the Albrada Turtoises. The trip would cost 70000 Shilling which is about 30 US Dollars. We were a group of 5 people getting on a boat by the marina.
The Aldabra giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) is a species of tortoise endemic to the islands of the Aldabra Atoll in the Seychelles. It is one of the largest tortoises in the world. Historically, giant tortoises were found on many of the western Indian Ocean islands, as well as Madagascar, and the fossil record indicates giant tortoises once occurred on every continent and many islands with the exception of Australia and Antarctica. Today they also exist on Prison island outside of Zanzibar as well as the Galapagos islands.

Another GREAT success video! 😀
It's amazing to see turtles on that tiny island. I wonder if they're survivors of the pirate and import ships from hundreds of years ago. Cooks on those ships gathered and stored them on board to feed their crew during long voyages. The Galapagos island has many huge ancient turtles also.I found this to be a most interesting video.
Nice video, your turtle mating imitation was spot on! Too funny!..👏
Nice clip thanks for sharing. Nice sanctuary for the tortoises .
As always....love your videos. Can't wait for the next one.

@@williamtaudien just depends on where at that’s more a good question for my wife 😂 she’s Swiss I’m American I’m not sure if you remember me from our pass conversations back a year or so ago when I talked about Mexico and when I got married there. But I have a been to many of the locations like Santis and Grindelwald. But I definitely could help you out if you make it this way. I’d say the Italian part is my favorite of Switzerland 🤙
Cool video! I used to breed turtles and tortoises from all over the world when I was in my teens and early 20's as a hobby. The Aldabra Giant Tortoise (Geochelone gigantea), from the islands of the Aldabra Atoll in the Seychelles, is one of the largest tortoises in the world. But possibly not as big as the tortoises from the Galapagos islands. I'd like to see you travel to the Galapagos in the future, that would be cool 😎👌 Uugggh! Ooohhh Errrrrh! 🐢🐢 💕

William, your turtles were actually tortoises. Tortoises have thicker, domed shells with elephantine hind legs. They are more designed for land rather than for the sea. Thank you for the tour.

Nice video. I would guess that biggest turtle must be over 100 years old.
dang....that male turtle out there slinging pipe!!!!!😎
Great video such an interesting place. But am I the only person who knows these are tortoises not turtles? Seems like everybody in the comment section is also confused.
william are you having a blast
William please compare the places you go with where you have been .
