What are people saying about Zanzibar

Great day
Picked up ontime and then taken for the safety briefing. Everyone had to listen to demonstrate they knew the controls so its all safe. Some people didn't listen to instructions and got told off. Taken on a drive, a bit of road driving and a bit of off roading. Very bumpy and rocky tracks but was really fun. Stopped at a beach and had a walk for half an hour. Carried on to a little village and all the kids waved at us and then stopped for a look around. You can take sweets or toys for the kids if you like but you will get mobbed! Carried on to another beach where snacks and fruit were given. Had a really nice trip thanks.

Amazing! Worth it!
My family and I had a great day with Said exploring Zanzibar! Communication with him leading up to the trip was also great - we communicated over WhatsApp as I had requested that. The day trip is in the southern parts and our hotel was in the north so it was a very long drive but we got to see a lot of the island which was great. Said shared a lot of good information and history about the region. All the places we visited were so beautiful and ending the day at Kae funk was really good. I would recommend this excursion. And reach out to Said directly for more tours of the Island!

A Remarkable Experience in Zanzibar
It's an experience I would highly recommend. My guide, Muhammed, delivered a highly personal tour. He answered all my questions and allowed me time to explore places that were interesting to me. There's no way I could have navigated Stone Town without him. In addition to being a great guide, he was also a supporter of local businesses. For example, we passed by a cafe that was newly established, but was definitely off the beaten path. When i asked how a business would survive in its location, he said he had watched the business from it's beginning; as long as it seemed to be a credible business, he would bring tourists by. He knew a lot of people along the tour and they greeted him warmly. When I asked for a referral for a barber shop, he took me to one. The barber did a great job. He explained what I should pay for skewers at the night market if I went and what would be a ripoff. He graciously answered my questions about Zanzibar and Tanznia beyond tourist interest (I made it clear that if he found any of my questions inappropriate, he was to let me know immediately). He explained Zanzibar's history as it related to the slave trade and gave context to the "Well, blacks sold other blacks into slavery!" argument made when certain groups take a defensive posture. Let me just say that context is EVERTHING. He pointed out the various mosques and churches that were next to each other and how there's true religious tolerance among the various faith groups. He explained how Friday was the holy day for Muslims, the clothes they wore and the call for prayer. I learned about the various groups who came through Zanzibar, for better or for worse, and the influences they left behind (architecture, food, customs, etc.), the need to be respectful when photographing people and so much more. If you are someone who travels with intention and want to truly know where you are, this is the tour for you. I can't recommend this tour, and Muhammed, enough.

The best part of my trip
This was truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life! Our driver, Solomon, and our guide, Wilson, were absolutely incredible. They were knowledgeable, attentive, considerate, and worked so hard to make sure everyone was comfortable, safe, and having a great time throughout the entire experience. We were fortunate enough to see 3 of the “Big 5,” and Solomon and Wilson went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible opportunities to see the animals up close and capture amazing photos. They were patient, observant, and clearly passionate about what they do. Their knowledge of the animals and the area made the experience even more special. I truly felt like we were in great hands from beginning to end. I’m so grateful for the memories, the incredible sights, and the beautiful photographs I was able to take home with me. I would absolutely recommend this experience—and especially Solomon and Wilson—to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure!

While Tanzania’s sweeping Serengeti plains and towering Mount Kilimanjaro get a lot of attention, you don’t want to miss the country’s tropical islands. Zanzibar tours acquaint you with the multicultural influences and intricate carved doors of Stone Town, the main island’s old trading hub that’s still full of antique shops and bazaars. The archipelago’s smaller islands are ideal for snorkeling among dolphins and spotting giant Aldabra tortoises, while the countryside is home to spice farms and indigenous Swahili culture. If you’re up for a short flight, many Zanzibar tours go to mainland Tanzania for safaris.
