Great experience!!

We chose Omar as our guide during our trip to Zanzibar, and we could not make a better choice! Thanks to him we saw the most beautiful corners of that fantastic island! He took us to see the giant turtles on Prison Island and then we continued the day on Nakupenda Island, surrounded by a wonderful landscape! In the following days he took us to see the dolphins near the island of Mnemba, where we snorkeled in waters that were the envy of a pool. We then continued the day in a small natural aquarium where there were nice monkeys to welcome us, other small reptiles and fantastic sea turtles, which they rescue and then release into the wild. All this includes a fantastic lunch on the beach, and lots of fresh fruit! Thanks again Omar, without you our holiday would not have been the same! 😍

Everything perfect!!

We booked with Omar several excursions to Zanzibar: the tour of Nakupenda and Prison Island, the island of Mnemba with dolphin tours and snorkeling, the Safari Blue Tour and the tour of the Jozani Forest with a visit to Stone Town. Our driver, Ali, was fantastic: super helpful, punctual, very kind and speaks perfect Italian! During the trips he explained many interesting things about the island and always made sure everything was going well. All the excursions included lunch, except the one to Stone Town, but our Slim guide, who also accompanied us to Jozani, took us to a panoramic restaurant with a beautiful view of the whole city, and ate really well. Special thanks to Osmany, who during the tour in Mnemba showed us the dolphins up close, helped us find a starfish and allowed us to snorkel calmly, fulfilling our every wish! We absolutely recommend booking with Omar: it is the best! Great prices, organized excursions in total safety, and always ready to give great advice. It is also possible to book a transfer from/to the airport. Really perfect experience!

OMAR the best TOUR OPERATOR in ZANZIBAR

We did the tour of STONETOWN with Omar, he speaks very good Italian and especially ROMANACCIO😂 was super nice and above all very exhaustive and professional in explaining the history and origins of this wonderful island .. He accompanied us between a joke and another in the streets of the city explaining in detail the various differences of religious and architectural influences of the local structures that distinguish them for beauty and different styles .. We were really very good with him and recommend him to all those who want to come and discover the various beauties and curiosities of this wonderful island.❤️ ASANTE SANA
