We had a fantastic day - some 10 hours. We started the day with a boat trip to swim with dolphins (amazing!) and followed by snorkelling at Mnemba Atoll. We then went in a private car, with driver and guide, to Jozani Forest. Our guide was super knowledgeable on the red and blue Colombia monkeys, the mangroves and the local area. We went to The Rock and had lunch (good was average but the location is stunning). If we went back we would have drinks only! Our driver and guide waited patiently for us while we had lunch. We finished the tour with a refreshing dip and wish making at Kuza Cave. Throughout the day both our guide and driver were attentive and kind. They just wanted us to have the best day - and it was great!
We had a full and fantastic day with Abas and his colleague,they were on time and very welcoming. They allowed us as much time as we wanted at each location. They imparted a wealth of information And history for every location. Nothing was to much trouble for them. I would highly recommend their services Many thanks for a fantastic day with a superb visit to the Rock Restaurant. Many thanks Mark and Debs
Excellent guide and driver giving us a full day of options and careful explanation. All was well organised and efficient and they adapted the schedule according to our preferences
We were picked up by 2 young men at the resort. We were told little to nothing. When waiting for the boat, our guide instructed us to wait here and went elsewhere himself On Prinson Island he didn't pay attention to us and just walked ahead. He said something, but because he just kept walking, it was not understandable. Stopping for a photo was not one of them. During the walk in the Mangrove it started to rain heavily. He went to get 2 umbrellas and left us waiting in the rain for a long time. 1 umbrella for himself and 1 for the two of us. Even now he walked smoothly and not interested in us. One of us was completely soaked. Searching for the monkeys, the thunderstorm started so we didn't feel safe in the forest. We said we would like to return to the car for that reason. Along the way we felt ridiculed. We could not understand him but saw the reaction of others. Once in the car he asked if we wanted to continue, we asked to take us back to the hotel. They didn’t seem to mind and continued to shop clothes online while driving. The water that would be there was not, lunch had to be reserved only we were not told where and what time.
The guide was polite and friendly ' but is vers boring at the Jozani forest , the rock restaurant was not to recommande the food was not our taste
I took two tours with this tour company. They were both excellent. The best part was our tour guide, Hazam. He went completely out of his way to make sure we were attended and happy with the tour. One of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Thank you, Hazan for making our tours special. Also the driver was great as well, don't remember his name. Thank you both.
Fantastic stay!!! We were greeted at the airport and warmly received in their office glued to the airport. Then we were taken care of by our best driver FADHIL. he accompanied us throughout the stay. he knows the road very well and showed us everything on the road, the meals served are succulent, we had the advent of eating real food at lunch and not just in cold packed lunch. We appreciated Juma's presence and recommend this company for Zanzibar/Tanzania 100%% with eyes closed.

Hello, I recommend the "MANGO TOUR AND TRAVEL" group to organize your stay in Zanzibar/Tanzania. JUMA is a professional person, listening etc... to guide you in your choices regarding the island of Zanzibar. We had CHARISMA who was a great guide who taught us a lot about discovering Zanzibar etc... This man has an immense knowledge about his profession as a guide on Zanzibar and Tanzania and transmits it to you every moment spent with him😊. I can compare! Huge knowledge of his profession in the vast city of stone town (old town) for example☺. Bravo!!!!🤗 And thank you all the team at MANGO TOURS AND TRAVEL.
