Zanzibar must do - Mohammed was very pleasant company who was very knowledgeable about stone town and the slave history. Very hard not to be moved by this experience. The Spice Farm tour was also an excellent experience, highly recommended for food lovers and entertaining. Be prepared to support the wonderful community that cares for the farm and produces excellent perfumes and spices.

Zanzibar adventures with Mohammed - Mohammed was the best guide! We booked the Stonetown Walking tour with him on arrival and he was very knowledgeable and well spoken with interesting facts about Stonetown. We subsequently booked the Prison island and Spice farm tours with him and it was incredible! He even arranged transport for us to get the Bwejju and Nungwi and back to the airport at quite reasonable cost! We definitely recommend booking with Mohammed and wish him well!
