I highly recommend this agency — the prices are very reasonable. Abdul is lovely and incredibly helpful. He adapts to your needs, and he showed us unusual places we wouldn’t have found on our own. An unforgettable experience.

We spent three incredible days exploring Zanzibar with Abdul as our guide — Mnemba Island, Safari Blue, Blue Lagoon, and Stone Town. We’ve traveled a lot, but we’ve never had such an amazing guide who made the whole experience extra special.

Abdul is probably the nicest, trustworthy and helpful person you can find in Zanzibar. He organised the Selous Park Safari for me and I was impressed with how everything was planned. Asante-sana my friend.

Two tours with Surprise Tour — first to Mnemba Island with Abdul. The boat trip was lovely, we were lucky to see dolphins and swim just above them. The water at the sandbank by Mnemba was a dream. Second day with Felix, a German-speaking local — Jozani forest, spice farm, and Stone Town.

Super guide! English-speaking and also speaks French. He adapts to where you’re staying, the number of people, and the activities you want. Merci encore — we recommend this outfit with our eyes closed, at very attractive prices.

Booked 3 excursions from home. Good communication via mail and WhatsApp. Nice car with A/C and driver. Abdul is friendly, on time and reliable. Good and informative website. Room for adjustments according to your own wishes.

This was a special family vacation — celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Abdul provided excellent advice on which combination of tours would best suit our preferences, crafting a wonderful itinerary of five excursions during our 11-day stay.

We had 4 full days and 1 half day of excursions. When we arrived in Zanzibar we moved some of the excursions because of the weather, and this was no problem at all. In our hotel the excursions were at least 25% more expensive and we even had three days of private tours.
