Who We Are: Hello Zanzibar Tours

Every guide and driver on our team is a Zanzibar local. We built Hello Zanzibar Tours to plan Zanzibar tours the way we’d want them planned for us: straightforward, personal, and built around what you actually want to do. Whether it’s a Stone Town walk, a spice farm visit, or a private Tanzania safari, our team plans it with local knowledge you won’t find in a guidebook.

Licensed Drivers, Safety First

Every driver on our team is licensed, and every vehicle is inspected before it goes out. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we run every Zanzibar airport transfer and island tour.

Fair, Upfront Pricing

The price we quote for your Zanzibar tour or safari is the price you pay. No surprise fees once you’ve arrived.

Local Guides You Can Trust

Our Zanzibar tour guides grew up on this island. They know the tides, the seasons, and which spots to skip on a crowded day, so every trip we plan reflects real local expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need To Know Before You Go

What does Hello Zanzibar Tours & Safaris offer?+
We offer Zanzibar island tours, mainland safaris, and airport transfers, plus custom itineraries and event planning — all run by our own local guides and drivers.
How much does a Zanzibar tour cost?+
Day tours range from $25–$140 per person depending on the trip. Half-day tours like a spice farm visit are cheaper, while full-day trips like Safari Blue cost closer to $140.
How much does a safari from Zanzibar to mainland Tanzania cost?+
Safaris from Zanzibar range from about $500 for a short overnight trip to $900+ for a 3-day safari. Mikumi is the closest, most affordable option, while Serengeti and Ngorongoro cost more.
How much is an airport transfer in Zanzibar?+
Transfers are priced per vehicle: about $15–20 to Stone Town and $40–50 to beach areas like Nungwi, Kendwa, or Paje. Booking ahead locks in a fixed price.
What's included in the airport transfer price?+
The price covers the vehicle, driver, and door-to-door transfer from the airport to your hotel. It doesn't include a tip, which is optional.
Do I need to book a tour in advance, or can I book after I arrive?+
Either works, but booking a few days ahead guarantees your date and vehicle, especially in high season. Transfers should be booked before you land, since walk-up taxi rates are higher and unfixed.
Can you build a custom itinerary instead of a fixed package?+
Yes — tell us your dates, interests, and budget, and we'll build the itinerary around you, whether it's a 3-day island stay or a 10-day Zanzibar-and-mainland trip.
Do you offer safari and transfer packages together?+
Yes, we combine transfers with island tours or safaris and coordinate the timing so you don't lose a day to logistics. Tell us your full trip and we'll quote it together.
What is the best time of year for a Kizimkazi dolphin tour?+
June–October, plus January–February, offer the calmest seas and clearest water for snorkeling. The March–May rains bring rougher water and more cancellations.
Are your guides and drivers licensed?+
Yes, every guide and driver is locally licensed and every vehicle is checked before departure. We never subcontract to unaffiliated third-party drivers.
What payment methods do you accept, and do I need to pay in advance?+
We accept [payment methods — to confirm] and require a [deposit / full payment] to confirm a booking. (Placeholder — replace with your real policy.)
Do you plan events, conferences, or celebrations in Zanzibar?+
