Loved that this tour was more than a tour- it was an experience of the local culture. You’re moving and engaged the entire time. Ameir took the time to answer all our questions. You sit with the ladies of Jambiani and learn to make coconut rope and other local items.

This tour delivered on all points. My guide, Juma was professional, very knowledgeable, and eager to share information. He was a perfect gentleman along with being my private photographer. Because he was taking photos, I could pay attention to the tour and concentrate on history shared by the guide at the slade trade history museum. The information was extremely emotional for me, but certainly worth the time and cost of the tour. Oh! And the driver was friendly and safe. Loved the entire tour!

About The cave is a 50 meter round sinkhole in the middle of a small jungle. A large natural rock sculpture in the shape of an elephant is used by locals as an altar to make offerings to the spirits who live in the cave and request for their support. The cave is accessible by a few stairs and wooden decking so people with general fitness level can enjoy this hidden wonder tucked away in the tropical jungle. It gives a unique chance to swim in the cave. Itinerary First stop will be at the most popular Zanzibar restaurant - Rock.

The Jozani Forest is located in the central east region of Zanzibar Island is the home of rare Red Colobus Monkey, which is only endemic to Zanzibar. A red colobus monkey, unlike their more widespread and adapted cousins, the Black and White Colobus, are a rain forest species which are now confined to very small areas of equatorial forest in tropical Africa. It is therefore a rare treat to be able to see them here in Zanzibar. The reserve also accommodate a large mangrove swamp and a tract of natural forest that is home to a few unique species including the Sykes monkey, bush babies, duikers, hyraxes, over 50 species of butterfly and 40 species of birds.

Pickup from Michamvi very early in the morning, we went to the north and take a boat to Mnemba. It was a long trip but worth it. There were so many dolphins playing so closer, we enjoyed it and also the marine life at Mnemba is amazing. Ahmed was there with us during this trip, he was so helpful. I really recommend the trip.
