Top day with a nice guide Hasan (James Bond) and driver. Jozani forest for the monkeys, the Mangrove forest, salaam cave and the rock restaurant. Our guide knew a lot about it and t was cozy. He also took pictures of us so we have great memories. Highly recommended this trip!
It was lovely I enjoyed every bit of it and especially my tour guide
Very nice experience. I recommend ! The animals are so beautiful and it’s worth it. Perfect for a family trip and the monkeys are so cute
From the very beginning, the communication was excellent — quick, clear, and professional. The trip was organised exactly as we requested, with several changes made both before the day and even during the day. The team was extremely flexible while also giving us great advice, options, and recommendations to make the experience even better. The driver was on time (actually early), the organisation was seamless, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Our guide was very knowledgeable and truly passionate about what he does. He took us around Prison Island and Stone Town, answering all our questions with enthusiasm and genuine excitement, which made the day even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and gave us a wonderful first impression of Zanzibar. I can definitely recommend this service and would happily work with them again. Great communication, fast responses, and top-level service throughout!
