Special Tour on Prison & Nakupenda Islands - Fantastic visit to Prison Island and Nakupenda Island. Omar is a special host that boosts our experience and explain all during the tour. Beautiful launch at Nakupenda Island with fresh fish and chips prepare by Omar and his guys. Tour very well organized (transfer with boat, tour on islands and lunch prepared). Experience recommended! Special thanks to Omar and his team 💪🏻
