Zanzibar or Zanzibar, dream beaches, friendly people and sunburn incl. - An impressive tour, the history and life in Zanzibar was impressively conveyed to us by our tour guide " Hatji". Hatji speaks several languages including German very well. I can only recommend his tours, as the price and performance are right. Thank you Hatji and Abdullah. 👍😀😀😀😀

Top 100% recommendation - Already from Germany we contacted Haji via WhatsApp, which worked totally uncomplicated and quickly. We had made 3 indescribable beautiful trips with him. The One Day Safari was fantastic and an unforgettable experience for us. We saw a lot of animals and our German speaking guide was great. Stone Town, a very old town with winding alleys and many small highlights (slave market, Freddy Mercury house, etc.) is not to be missed. Prison Island with its giant turtles was also great and interesting for us. Haji is a great, competent young man who told us a lot about people and country , thus bringing us closer to Zanzibar. All 3 excursions were very well organized from A to Z. Hotel pickup was always reliable and punctual. We felt safe and in good hands at all times. Therefore, we can recommend Haji 100%, so 5 stars for you Haji. Asante Sana

Two great experiences - we will be back! - We took Haji on both the Stone Town and Prison Island tours, as well as the Turtle, Dolphin and Snorkel Tours – and each of these experiences was simply unique! Haji impressed us not only with his extensive knowledge of the history and culture of Zanzibar, but also made sure that we felt very safe and well looked after at all times. He knows his way around and has provided us with a lot of interesting information on every tour that has enriched our stay. Particularly noteworthy is how he responded to all our wishes and needs, always patient and friendly. Whether we had questions about the island or the activities, Haji was always by our side and made us feel in good hands. Thank you, Haji, for teaching us so much about Zanzibar and its history and for giving us unforgettable experiences. We will definitely come back and can only warmly recommend you!
