“Fabulous tour of Zanzibar ”
Mohd was very sweet and accommodated our demands, like beginning painfully early. We loved Jozani Forest, had amazing encounters with the endemic Red Colobus monkeys. Lunch was great at The Rock. We also really enjoyed the turtles of Salaam Cave, although be warned that some of them nip.
Mohd K.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and your time in Zanzibar. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I truly appreciate your flexibility with the early start. I’m glad you loved the visit to Jozani Forest and had a great encounter with the famous Zanzibar red colobus monkeys. They are very special to our island. I’m also happy you enjoyed lunch at The Rock Restaurant and the experience with the turtles at Salaam Cave. Yes, sometimes the turtles can give a small friendly nip, but it’s part of the fun and we always make sure our guests stay safe. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide.

Dar can move fast, but I think we kept up pretty well. Thanks for trusting me to show you around.. it was a great day.
