Languages

We answer in English, French, German and Italian. There is no need to write in English if another of those is easier for you.

What to include in your first message

You will get a useful answer faster if you say which dates you are on the island, how many people are travelling, where you are staying, and which tour or activity you have in mind. If you are not sure what you want yet, say that instead and we will suggest something that fits the tides and the season.

Airport transfers

For a pickup at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, send your flight number and landing time. Prices are agreed before you travel, so there is nothing to negotiate when you arrive tired at midnight.

Paying

A $30 deposit confirms your booking and holds the date; the balance is settled for the tour. US dollars, euros and Tanzanian shillings are all accepted. The price is agreed on WhatsApp before anything is paid.

Where we are

We are based in Nungwi, on the northern tip of Zanzibar, Tanzania. Tours run across the whole island, from Nungwi and Kendwa in the north to Kizimkazi in the south, and multi-day safaris depart to the mainland.

Before you message

It may save a round trip to look at the tour list first, or at ocean trips, safaris, nature tours and cultural tours if you already know roughly what you want.

If you are not sure which beach suits you, this guide compares them. For getting around independently, see travelling by dala-dala or driving in Zanzibar. More about who runs this.
