What people love about Zanzibar Tours
This was a great itinerary.a won project to help the local community and environment I especially liked the mangrove canoe trip. The accommodation was better than expected. The food, a bit disappointing.
Ecotourism and Cultural Immersion in Jozani Forest National Park Area, Zanzibar
The whole team at the nature camp were really outstanding. Deogratius especially was a phenomenal host. He made my time there fun, engaging, and informative. I was thrilled to hear about all the cool stuff that volunteers are doing, fascinated to learn about the economy of the local villages, and in awe of the natural creatures and plants I encountered on my tours. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

We loved the things which we had the opportunity to experience on a more personal contact with the people and the animals. We felt like we experienced the heartbeat of the people and the land and the animals. The people who provided this opportunity were amazing. The hospitality, meals, lodging were awesome. Nancy/USA

Demographics
Our solo packages kick off from Zanzibar with safari-beach combinations that really work well for independent travelers. The 5-day trips give you time to wander through Stone Town's narrow lanes and local spice markets before heading up to the quiet northern beaches. Most of our solo guests love joining the Safari Blue boat excursions - you'll spot dolphins in their natural habitat and go snorkeling around Menai Bay, topped off with fresh seafood barbecues on quiet beaches. The guided walks through villages and markets have become a favorite; they're perfect for meeting people and getting to know daily island life. We've upgraded our hotel partnerships after some feedback, so you'll now find reliable, consistent accommodation throughout your stay.
The eco-tours around Jozani Forest make for excellent couple getaways. You'll be staying in cozy forest camps where red colobus monkeys provide your morning wake-up call. Our couples really enjoy taking canoes through the mangrove forests - it's quiet, intimate and well off the regular tourist circuit. You can visit local turtle sanctuaries, explore butterfly gardens and get hands-on with traditional cooking classes and spice farm visits. One of our recent guests put it nicely: they loved connecting with local communities and experiencing "the heartbeat of the people and the land." It's ideal for couples who want their nature experiences mixed with real cultural connections.
The longer overland trips linking Zanzibar with mainland highlights run between 23 and 47 days - proper adventures where you'll track rhinos on foot in Zimbabwe, navigate traditional canoes through the Okavango Delta and sleep under Serengeti stars. There's plenty of beach time built in along Zanzibar's northern coast for snorkeling, dhow sailing and exploring spice plantations. We've made sure you get enough free time to discover Stone Town's markets, alleyways and beaches at your own speed. It works really well for active travelers who want to mix wildlife watching, cultural visits and beach time with other like-minded explorers.
Our heritage-focused tours really resonate with senior travelers, combining historic sites with comfortable accommodation. You'll explore Stone Town's UNESCO-listed streets and historic spice routes with knowledgeable local guides who know when to take things slow. The routes cover the former slave market, Sultan's Palace, House of Wonders and also other key sites, with regular rest stops included. We then move you to quiet resorts on the northeast coast, picked specifically for their easy beach access and traditional Zanzibari design. The spice plantation visits are particularly popular - you can learn about the island's trading past while tasting exotic fruits and spices without feeling rushed.
