Our Traveler Says

“Omar has been an incredible find. It is so difficult to choose a particular person to arrange the various tours available in Zanzibar. We used him for a small group tour (blue safari which left from PAje) which went really well.”!

“Absolutely fantastic experience. Safari at Mikumi Park organised by Omar was just perfect. Everything was on time, we were never left alone. Only 1hour flight to Tanzania with a small plane was already an experience in itself.”!
