This was one of the best excursions I've ever experienced. From pick-up to drop-off, everything went smoothly. Our tour guide and driver, Mohamed and Ali, were exceptional. They picked us up on time and kept us engaged during the drive by sharing fascinating history about Zanzibar and playing music.
The tour was private, which my friend and I didn't expect but thoroughly enjoyed. Although we had to adjust the schedule due to unexpected weather conditions, everything turned out wonderfully. Our first stop was kayaking, and when we reached the beach, we were mesmerized by its beauty—it felt like a backdrop. We only spent a few moments before we headed to our next activity. After kayaking, we visited Mnemba Island, where we watched fishes and dolphins swimming. We even witnessed the Dolphins jump out the water! While swimming with the dolphins was an option, we chose to enjoy fresh fruit with Mohamed and the boat operator instead, while watching others enjoy the water.
Next, we went horseback riding. Note that there is a weight limit for this activity. Nonetheless, it was a relaxing experience, and you have a guide accompanying you throughout the ride as they take breathtaking photos and videos of you.
Our final stop was a cooking class with the locals, which was the highlight of our day. We learned about Zanzibar’s spices and cooked traditional Swahili dishes. My friend made a delicious vegetarian coconut curry dish, while I prepared pilaf rice. The meal was fantastic, and we enjoyed it together with our tour guides.
In summary, if you're considering booking this activity, don't hesitate! It’s worth every penny, and I guarantee that you’ll have an amazing time.
