Zanzibar: Amazing white sandbank & snorkeling with BBQ Lunch
Amazing unique experience
The driver came on time, a thin that I really appreciate. When we got there the manager waited with us until the whole group came for the activity. We had coffee with him. The boat trip was smooth, an amazing sandbank, not crowded at all. They cooked fish bbq for us, super tasty. After, we had the opportunity tu do snorkel next to another island. Amazing experience!!
