Who is behind the brand

Zanzibar Tours is run by Nabil from Frankfurt am Main, Germany – together with Haji, your local on Zanzibar. You book with a German operator, under German law, and if anything comes up you are writing to a person you can see here by name and face.

From the first idea to the last sunset, we accompany you. You book individual services, completely flexible, and still have a fixed contact on-site.

Your Guide on Site

Haji is accessible, speaks German, and takes you by the hand. No call center, no anonymous portal.

Planning in German

We tailor your days to travel time, pace, and interests. Personally advised, honestly recommended.

Why with a Local?

A trip to Zanzibar is a lifelong dream. You don't leave it to an anonymous portal.

You've dreamed of this island for months. Of the moment you first step into the warm, crystal-clear water. Of alleys that smell of cardamom, of sunsets you'll never forget.

These moments aren't in any travel guide. They live in the people who call this place home. Haji takes you to where Zanzibar is most authentic.

A Person, Not a Portal

You're not writing to a call center, but to Haji, who knows every bay by name and stands by your side on-site.

Everything in German

Planning, advice, and support in your language, honest and without sales pressure. No translating, no misunderstanding.

Curated Instead of Mass

No tourist traps. Only experiences that Haji personally stands for because he loves them himself.

Book Safely, Experience Locally

The deposit is transparently processed through the brand and secures your spot. The rest you handle directly on-site.

What travellers say after their time with Haji

  • Wir hatten mit Haji einen wunderschönen Boots-Ausflug zur Mnemba Island! Die gesamte Tour war sehr gut organisiert und wir haben uns von Anfang an wohlgefühlt. An Bord gab es Wasser und leckere frische Früchte, eine tolle kleine Erfrischung zwischendurch. Haji spricht sehr gut Deutsch, war unglaublich freundlich und aufmerksam und hat den Ausflug dadurch noch angenehmer gemacht. Ein absolutes Highlight war, dass wir sogar Delfine sehen konnten! 🐬 Insgesamt hatten wir einen wunderschönen und unvergesslichen Tag und würden den Ausflug jederzeit wieder machen. Absolute Empfehlung! 🌴🌟

  • Wir, Harald und Birgit besuchten Sansibar Ende März 2025 als unser Geschenk zur Silberhochzeit. Wir bereuen keine einzige Sekunde, mit Haji , seinen Freunden und den Massai, bei einem Spaziergang am Strand ins Gespräch gekommen zu sein. Sie alle haben uns Ihr Sansibar, ihre Heimat gezeigt und erklärt. Mit den Massai machten wir bei Ebbe eine wunderschöne Wanderung am Strand und lernten neue Tiere ganz nah kennen. Wir besuchten auf einer Halbtags Tour mit Yusuf die Schildkröten und fütterten sie und das Tauchen mit den Delfinen war unbeschreiblich schön . Na und auf der Tagestour mit Haji und Sabra zur der Gewürzefarm und dem Markt und der interessanten Stadt zu Stone Toun erwachten unsere Sinne voll und ganz . Wir haben viel über die Menschen und über das Leben auf Sansibar erfahren. Mit Haji hatten wir die Chance Sansibar mit allen Sinnen zu erleben. Da ich eigentlich taub bin und nur mit Hilfe von Technik hören kann ,möchte ich seine Ehrlichkeit hervor heben und vor allem mich , für seine gute und fast akzentfreie Aussprache mit dem sehr guten Deutsch bei Haji und Sabra besonders bedanken. 🤗Das ist für mich nicht selbstverständlich. Die Preise zu den Touren sind den Umfang an Vorbereitung und Aufwand sehr gut angemessen👌und sehr sehr fair. Wir können Haji und seine Freunde zu 💯Prozent empfehlen 👍und uns bei Ihnen von ganzem ❤️Herzen für diesen wundervollen Urlaub und der Gastfreundlichkeit und den vielen schönen Erfahrungen nur bedanken ❣️😎🥰

  • We booked a mudflat hike and a Zanzibar City + Spice Tour and were very satisfied with both. With the mudflat hike, you might think, “I could do that on my own,” but no, you can't—you run the risk of getting hurt and would miss out on a lot of things. Both bookings went smoothly and were handled reliably.

  • We met Haji Jr randomly on the beach during our trip to Zanzibar. We are adventurous travelers so we decided to book our excursions with him. First his prices were better than any other competitors and secondly our excursions were AMAZING!! Other people were always jealous of the level of care we were getting because he went above and beyond. We did a cooking class after the spice farm in a lady's house, AND an fabulous BBQ on the Nakupenda sand bar. It was everything! Save yourself money, time and travel disappointments and simply book with Haji!

Haji was born in Zanzibar, among spice gardens, dhow boats, and the sound of the Indian Ocean. For years, he has been guiding guests from Germany and Europe around the island. With him, you're not a tourist but a guest he takes to the places he loves most.

„I don't show you Zanzibar. I show you my home.“

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the booking process work?+

You make a non-binding inquiry for your desired tour. Haji checks availability and gets back to you. Then you secure your spot with an online deposit, and the rest you pay relaxed on-site.

Why an online deposit?+

The deposit makes your appointment binding and transparent. This way, Haji knows your spot is reserved, and you have the security of a proper booking instead of a loose WhatsApp promise.

Is this a package tour?+

No. We arrange tours and transfers from your local as individual, separate services that you can freely combine. You remain flexible and only book what you really want.

Does Haji speak German?+

Yes. The entire planning and contact on-site are in German. You don't have to worry about anything in English or Swahili, unless you want to learn the beautiful words.

When is the best travel time for Zanzibar?+

The most pleasant time is the dry season from June to October and from December to February. Tell us your travel month, and we will tailor the tours exactly to it.
