Hello and welcome, My name is Mohd, a passionate and licensed local guide from Zanzibar, Tanzania. I was born and raised on this beautiful island, and I have dedicated my career to sharing its rich culture, history, and natural beauty with visitors from all over the world.
With several years of experience in the tourism industry, I specialize in creating authentic, personalized experiences that allow you to truly connect with Zanzibar. From walking through the winding streets of Stone Town, exploring the lush Spice Farms, and discovering the rare Red Colobus Monkeys in Jozani Forest, to enjoying breathtaking ocean adventures such as Safari Blue, Prison Island, and Nakupenda Sandbank, I make sure every moment is memorable.
My guiding style is friendly, informative, and flexible. I love to answer questions, share hidden stories, and adapt the tour to your interests. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, family, or group, I always aim to make you feel comfortable and welcomed.
When you book a tour with me, you are not just seeing the highlights of Zanzibar, you are also supporting the local community, as I work closely with local businesses and community-based tourism initiatives.
