Best beach holiday package in Zanzibar - After one year , I still choose Amore African Safari to be part of experience in Zanzibar. This time I could not skip Stone Town tour with My friends. They were very happy with suggestions to have this experience in Zanzibar. Nalisis booked for us the hotel in Stone Town, airport transfer and all excursions in Zanzibar. I reccommend Amore African Safari for best Zanzibar Beach Holiday Package no matter you are alone or friends or with big group. I believe they will do as they did to us by showing the highest level of providing good services regarding to Zanzibar Experience.

Stone town tour in Zanzibar - We booked for Zanzibar experience with Amore African Safari, it was good and a five star service tour, the car was nice, clean and the drive was clean and charming person. We never stayed quiet in our car😂😂😂😇😇. Stone town walking tour made my day listening to the history behind the city and how the lifestyle plus trade slave market made me to think of past while I have no chance to get there. My friend kept of asking many questions about slave and the Guide kept on answering all questions. Prison island is nice too and amazing very nice place for photos and view of stone town. The island has some animals and birds. After the trip we finished with swimming, we liked the tour and I recommend to book with them for your all excursions in Zanzibar.

Do not recommend - We booked a trip and the tour guide didnt show up. We waited for him for an hour, we called him a few times and he didnt answer. Besides that he wrote us in the early morning that we have to pay additionally 25$ per person for 'best experience'.
