What people love about Nairobi to Zanzibar Tours
- Road to Zanzibar (from Nairobi to Zanzibar)
The tour was fantastic! Everything was according to itinerary but we got so much more!) Saw the big 5, a lot of lions and other wild animals at a very close distance, had a night in the rainforest under Kilimanjaro, visited a lot of cool places and welcoming local communities. Thanks for everything to Intrepid, our guide and leader Jacob and the awesome cook Sylvia!)
- Nairobi to Zanzibar: Serengeti & Sunsets
This was my first trip with G Adventures and I couldn't have been happier. The whole trip was well organized and communicated well from the beginning, including comprehensive pre-departure trip details and very helpful packing list. Our tour leaders for the Serengeti (Kevin and Johnson) knew the area extremely well and exactly where to look for each animal, so that we were successful in seeing the Big 5 and more! They were also a blast to be around and made the participation camping experience a smooth one. Based on my experience I would definitely book another G Adventures trip again and will likely do so within the next year to a new destination!
Very good tour. Our tour guide Joseph and Eric where very informative and thorough.
