Never again

The tour was well organized in terms of time and schedule. Too little gratifying. 1. Although agreed, the German-speaking guide was missing. 2. Nature conservation concepts misrepresentation. When dolphins were sighted, 24 small boats were found on the water. Several boats, like mine, were only manned by one or two people. Every time a dolphin suggests itself in the water, the drivers raced along with messengers and turned in the water to be in the front row. Motor yelling, lawn, propellers striding through the water and drivers screaming for willing tourists to jump into the water at the minute. Many did, too. This merciless hunt behind the dolphins, who only came upstairs to catch their breath, was appalling. Worst of all, no participant was obviously uncomfortable with it. Nobody wanted to hear about the fact that the boaters could hurt dolphins by their way of driving. There were also several large fishing nets around the area. No, this is not a trip I would recommend.

Highly recommended!

I would like to warmly recommend the wonderful Machano, who accompanied us throughout our entire stay in beautiful Zanzibar. Machano helped us with everything we needed, planned amazing tours, and took us to the most beautiful places. He is a lovely person—always helpful, full of practical information, kind, and patient. Highly recommended!
