Great for honeymoon - Godfrey and his team were great. We originally wanted a selous day trip however he organised for an alternative to mikumi as selous was no longer available, he was very prompt and helped out on short notice. It was so engaging and we got straight into the action - when we landed within 30 minutes we had seen elephants and even a couple of lions on the hunt. We saw baboons, leapords, giraffes, hippos etc :) special shout out to Alex our tour guide who was very knowledgeable and also Abraham our driver who picked us up from our hotel and back with no issues.

A must do if staying in Zanzibar! - The one day safari was incredible and so worth it. Considering it was one day - we saw so many incredible animals and views. Our tour guide was wonderful as well and very informative talking about the animals which I loved. The overall experience was fantastic and very well organised. I genuinely felt like I was in a movie 🤩

Perfect safari !!! - The whole organisation and communication were perfect. The kind driver came to our hotel to pick us up to the airport. All was easy. In the park we saw all the animals and felt safe and the informations given by the guide were very helpful. Perfect lunch. I recommend 100% !!!!

Hakuna Matata 🦁 - The trip was great. From the pick-up from the hotel in Zanzibar, to the flight, safari, food and the transfer back to the hotel, everything was well organized. At first we weren't sure whether a day trip was even worth it. However, we were able to spot the first animals relatively quickly. As the day went on, there were more and more... giraffes, loads of elephants with their offspring, lions with little Simbas :P, zebras, hippos and much more. So all in all, a great tour and highly recommended if you don't have too many days on the island and still need time for other activities.

Amazing experience - We had the best time today, a dream come true! Our driver Eric made sure to take us to the special spots before everyone else and our guide Collin knew so much about all the animals. The way he talked about them was very entertaining. We would book this tour again, it was incredible!

Excellent Experience! A Few Tips for Travelers. - Amazing! If this is your first time in East Africa, this is a must-do. It is easily one of the highlights of my time in Zanzibar. I was a bit nervous, but the company confirmed the booking via WhatsApp, the airport pickup was prompt, and the safari itself was unbelievable.
I didn’t know what to anticipate, so I was surprised that the plane landed us in the middle of the park. There is no airport to speak of, but I immediately saw an elephant!
Tips:
(1) If you are tall, be sure to be one of the first people on the plane by lining up right away. You’ll want an exit seat and there is no assigned seating. Otherwise you’ll be very uncomfortable in the right seating.
(2) The plane ride is only 45 minutes, but it can be very hot. You won’t regret a personal fan.
(3) You’ll be hungry because chances are you won’t eat breakfast before the 6am pickup. Lunch isn’t until 12:30. Plan ahead and you won’t be stuck with the one (terrible) cafe at the airport. A sandwich and chips would have been clutch. Water was provided, but if you freeze a bottle of water the night before you’ll be happy you did.
(4) The provided lunch is buffet style and we found it quite good. I did fine as a vegetarian.
(5) This is the time for a good camera if you’re in the market for one. Be sure to bring a backup battery for your cell phone if you’re using it for photos because you’ll be on it nonstop all day.
Enjoy!

very nice - Zanzibar is an absolute haven! The beaches are breathtaking, the islands are like a postcard, and the hotels offer a level of comfort that's hard to match. From the local cuisine to the exciting trips, every moment felt like a dream come true."

SCAMMED BY GODFREY AT EXPERIENCE ZANZIBAR TOURS - WARNING - do not book with this company. We paid over $1100 for this safari, transferred the money as requested by Godfrey only to be informed the evening before our supposed safari that it was cancelled. Then the responses to our messages reduced and we requested a full refund given there was no more time left in our holiday. Despite so many promises of a full refund by Godfrey, we have not received anything refunded to our account. Completely scammed and it’s now over 6 weeks later. Heartbreaking as this was meant to be a special holiday for my family. Please don’t anyone else be fooled into booking any trip with Godfrey and Experience Zanzibar Tours. We managed to successfully book a safari with Njema Holidays and had such an amazing safari and perfect customer service for every part of that booking process and on the day and highly recommend them if you actually want to go on a safari that you’ve paid for.
