Verified reviews from travelers who booked their Zanzibar holiday with us
The 7-day Zanzibar immersion was pure bliss. Safari Blue was the highlight — sailing on a dhow, snorkeling in crystal water, and fresh BBQ on a sandbank. Our guide knew every spot, and the beach resort in Nungwi was perfect.
Stone Town was fascinating — the history, the architecture, the food at Forodhani market. Then Prison Island and Mnemba snorkeling. Everything was organized perfectly. Zanzibar exceeded every expectation.
As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and well taken care of. The spice tour was eye-opening, Jozani Forest monkeys were adorable, and the sunset dhow cruise was magical. I've already recommended you to friends in Toronto.
