Beautiful day in Zanzibar

Haji was recommended to us by a couple from the hotel. We contacted via WhatsApp and booked directly. Haji picked us up super punctually at the hotel and took us on a city tour of Stone Town. Afterwards we went on to a spice farm. We also got a guided tour there with a coconut tasting. The authentic lunch on the farm was great. Finally we visited the aquarium. We had the opportunity to swim with the turtles and feed them. The trip was great! We felt safe at all times and would book with him again.

Great guide in Zanzibar

Fully recommended. Haji picked us up on time at the hotel and transported us safely to Stone Town and back. On the way we have already learned a lot about the island and its inhabitants. The city tour was very informative and we were given enough time and space with baby for breaks and shopping stops. Haji speaks very good German and allows complete individuality in planning and during the tour.

Haji was recommended to us by acquaintances. Safari Tour Top organized Sandbar&Dolphin swim top. Stone Town .The Cave Turtles and Jozani Forest Must sees . Everything was German-speaking and special requests were fulfilled ,wanted to visit a school class to drop off pens and small things, everything was implemented without long considering . The first excursion was supervised by Haji, the other times by his brother Abdul .Both German-speaking and competent. Highly recommended

Perfect day at Stone Town & Spice Farm – highly recommended!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect day at Stone Town & Spice Farm – highly recommended! We had a great private tour with our guide and can recommend him without restriction. The day started in Stone Town, where everything was explained to us beautifully and very vividly in German. We visited the most important historical places and received exciting background information. It was particularly pleasant that our questions were answered at all times and we never felt “passed through”. At our request, we then went through the traditional spice and fish market. There we were able to experience real, local life – authentic, original and absolutely impressive. Throughout the tour we were traveling with an air-conditioned vehicle, which was very pleasant in the temperatures. There were regular inquiries to see if everything was okay and we were always well supplied with water – really very attentive and professionally organised. A special highlight was the traditional local lunch we had wanted. We were taken to a beautiful location in the middle of a bush and jungle landscape – and the food surprised us absolutely positively. Authentic, fresh and incredibly delicious! After dinner we continued to a spice farm. This part of the tour was also very interesting and well designed. Overall, we were on the road from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. – an all-round successful day with perfect organization, a lot of knowledge, warmth and genuine hospitality. Absolutely recommend!

It's great.

Everything worked out as planned. Haji is reliable, punctual and very friendly. He speaks very good German, answered our questions and explained everything well. We had a second day tour, with domestic flight to Mikumi Park, a great experience. Thank you for that.

Unforgettable excursions

I came across Haji in a Facebook group when he was offering tours with a German speaking guide. We booked a one-day safari in Mikumi National Park through him. The trip was super great, everything was well organized and worked out great. We were picked up in the morning punctually by Haji at the hotel and taken to the airport. The safari guide also took great care of us and told us a lot about the park, the animals, but also the country and people. The driver also did a great job, so we could see everything we cared about that day (lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, elephants, monkeys, hyena, antelope, crocodile, hippos, div. Birds, Buffalo). Really great. We also booked a private Stone Town tour with a visit to Jozani National Park at Haji. Both were very nice and interesting. Finally we visited the Rock. That was also very impressive and must have been seen. We would always book tours with Haji. He is very friendly, reliable and does a great job.
