Excellent thanks to Ali and Fatma

Published on Jul, 2023

Nakupenda and prison island are a must if you visit Zanzibar. I was so lucky to have booked it with Fatma and Ali. We spent all day together and what I loved was the fact that both were super caring, agile hospitable, making sure that I was having a good time. Also for being very friendly, approachable and have great conversations. Both have excellent knowledge about history, culture of Zanzibar, shared in a beautiful way, responding to all my questions etc … would definitely book other tours with them if I had the chance to …

Amazing tour guide!
