“Perfect mix of nature and culture in Zanzibar”
Nassir was an excellent guide for our private tour of Jozani Forest, Prison Island, and Stone Town. He was friendly, punctual, and clearly knowledgeable about the island’s history and wildlife, and he tailored the day well to what my girlfriend and I were interested in. The tour struck a great balance between nature and culture: seeing the red colobus monkeys up close in Jozani Forest, visiting the giant tortoises on Prison Island, and walking through the winding streets of Stone Town with its history. We left having learned a lot about Zanzibar. Highly recommend this tour and Nassir as a guide.
Nassir H.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure showing you and your girlfriend the beauty, wildlife, and history of Zanzibar. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed Jozani Forest, Prison Island, and Stone Town. It was a pleasure having you both, and I sincerely appreciate your recommendation. I hope to welcome you back to Zanzibar again someday! Karibu sana!
