Zanzibar: 3-Day Mikumi National Park Safari with Free Pickup

Amazing day on safari

Fabulous day! We saw elephants within minutes of starting the safari! Both our guide and driver (both called Ernest) were very knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommend.

From Arusha to Zanzibar : 11 days From Bush to Beach safari

Amazing experience, don't hesitate to book. Saw lots of animals, ask for Richard you won't be disappointed.

We had an amazing Safari experience with Richard, he was kind and respectful. He went above and beyond to find all the animals to show us and picked up on our keen interest in birds happily stopping for us to take a look at these. It didn't feel like anything was too much for him, even when the car infront of us got stuck in the reserve and took a long time to free, he continued to check on us and that we had everything we needed. The safari truck was great with a fully functioning cooler and the comfy seats made even the bumpy tracks an enjoyable experience. Richard was very knowledgeable telling us lots about the animals and about life in Tanzania too. He even helped us with our bags into the airport and brought us some red bannanas to try. We had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend to anyone to ask for Richard.

Stone Town, Spice Farm and Jozani Forest Private Tour

Nice tour but..

First, I’d like to start off by mentioning that even though this says this is a First, I’d like to start off by mentioning that, even though this says this is an English speaking guide, our driver didn’t speak any English! He had someone with him that greeted us that spoke English, but when we got into the vehicle, he didn’t speak any so we couldn’t communicate on our travel plans for the day When visiting this port on a cruise ship, there really aren’t many options for tours. The forest tour was just OK, I guess the highlight was seen the red Columbus monkey. We had an energetic tour guide which made it more lively. The spice farm was very interesting. We had a female guide that took us through all of the trees and vines they grow at this location and learn learned about how the spices are cultivated and used. The only thing I found a little interesting at the end was they didn’t really have a spice shop where you could buy several of the spice trees and shrubs they had on the property. Lastly, the stone tour was interesting learning about the slave trade, but our tour guide could’ve been better. He was a little more interested in chatting with his buddies along the tour and didn’t really engage with us as tourists. He was knowledgeable and everything, but it could’ve been a lot more interesting if we had a guy that really got into the history. I would probably give this a three star, but I gave it a four star because there really isn’t any other options in this port for tourists.
