About
We follow the trail of the sultans, slaves and explorers in the winding streets of Stone Town. Your guide will tell you about the events that shaped Zanzibar, leading you through the buildings where it all happened, such as the former Slave Market and Anglican Cathedral, the House of Wonders and the Sultans’ Palace Museum, the Old Arab Fort and Dispensary.
While tracing the steps of the past, the walking tour provides you with a window into modern life in Stone
The City Tour is very flexible and can be adapted to suit your interests and time frame. If you’re a shopaholic, culture vulture or history buff we have something to suit everyone. If you want to hunt for antiques and souvenir shop follow David Livingstone’s time in Zanzibar and walk the path of the slave trade. Your guide can recommend and customize routes and itineraries that will optimise your time and get the most out of your trip.

Your guide will tell you about the events that shaped Zanzibar, leading you through the buildings where it all happened, such as the former Slave Market and Anglican Cathedral, the House of Wonders and the Sultans’ Palace Museum, the Old Arab Fort and Dispensary. While tracing the steps of the past, the walking tour provides you with a window into modern life in Stone Town. Explore the markets, seafood and fish piled in the fish market, fresh loaves of bread in wicker baskets and neat stacks of fruit and vegetables as traders sell their wares from their stalls. Children play in the streets in the residential areas, ‘mamas’ sit outside and gossip while the men play board games. An optional stop at The Zanzibar Coffee House provides a rest from the heat and hustle and bustle. A selection of drinks, local sweets & seasonal fruits acts as the perfect pick me up for you to continue on your tour.

- panta_rei_dominga0 contributionsBest experience ever in MikumiWe booked our trip to Zanzibar and didnt consider to go for a Safari at the beginning. At some point we tried to look for a short safari trip to be done in maximum 3 days and we found Bohobe Travel which organised our trip in a moment. So a couple of days after we took a ferry to Dar es Salaam and the agency booked for us the pick up to go to Mikumi park by car with a fantastic driver (Jackson). He drove through the heart of Tanzania and brought us to our lodge in Mikumi, an emotional journey through many african villages. The morning after we started our adventure in the park with the game drive, a journey of almost 7 hours and we were able to see lions, zebras, elephants, gnus, birds, giraffes ecc ecc, a super emotional drive, the best experience ever in our lives. We slept a second night in our lodge, a fantastic place in the middle of the nature surrounded by african vibes and an amazing atmosphere. The morning after we started our journey back to Dar es Salaam. I highly recommend Bohobe travel if you wish to live a unique experience and an unforgettable trip in the heart of Africa. Thanks Bohobe we will be back!! Dominga & AntonioWritten August 14, 2023
- Lorne P0 contributionsHighly recommended experienceAbrahim booked an excursion for his clients on board Pelagic sailing yacht in Kizimkazi . I felt it necessary to commend him and his company for the professional manner in which he handled the booking process with us being the third party. I watched the way he treated his clients with respect and friendly nature. Both himself and his team are clearly well experienced in the industry and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his company to anyone who is looking for an unforgettable holiday experience.Written July 21, 2023
- Giacomelli A0 contributionsBeautiful Tanzania! Love itThe best part of this adventure was the safari and meet all this wild animals in their natural beautiful enviroment. Also the travel from Dar es Salam to Mikuni with Abrham was very interesting. Beautiful green landscapes and scenes of real life of people along the road. I really enjoyed it. The lodge was very comfortable and clean.Thank you AbrhamWritten February 3, 2023
- 336fatmaf0 contributionsMikumi national park is very good national park in TanzaniaIt was really cool to be in Tanzania with Hassan amir on safar in February was really cool me and my husband we really enjoyed it mikumi national park have alot of animals like elephants and zebras and lions we see them very close.Written May 4, 2022
- GoPlaces300804943260 contributionsResumeThanks for a trip I will never forget. The Tourguide was very kind and helpful in all kind of questions and issues I had. I was very lucky to get a private tour. Only the traveling to and from mikumi park was not something I can recommend somebody who is not fully healthy. The busses are local so be aware it takes long, very long. I would highly recommend to rent a private car. You can stop whenever and wherever you want and make your trip more comfortable. The park is absolutely nice and I saw so much animals and nature I would have never expect. The hotel I stayed is comfortable with a ac and for traveling people who are used to travel absolutely enough. I can also recommend to try local food next to the hotel. Thanks again for your support.Written March 19, 2022
- 911amelm0 contributionsHakuna matataWe did 3 days of safari at Mikumi Park from Dar Es salam and it was just Amazing , the staff , the jeep everything was in point! And Honestly We didn't expect seeing a lot of savage animals and even less the lion! I really recommend this kind of safari with, it's worth it 👌 . Thank you Abraham for being such a good person and so professional! Keep going the good work 👏Written March 1, 2022
- Cecilia1616160 contributionsGreat experience!We booked a 3 days safari trip to Mikumi from Dar es salam. It was a great deal as we didn’t have much time and juste wanted a glimpse of tanzania’s wild life before traveling in Zanzibar. We saw a lot of wild animals inside Mikumi national park and even on the road to the park! Lions, girafes, elephants, antelopes, impalas, gnou, buffalos, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, warthog and different kind of birds. We even had the opportunity to visit a Maasai village. Abraham organized everything for us, he is very professional. More than that, he is a very warm person, passionate by his job, he made our journey to Mikumi being special : we stopped on the road for an improvised maasai bbq, ate in local restaurants and as we had time in Dar es salam, he even took us out to a bar with live band music! We really had a good time and a good connection with Abraham and we’ll recommend Bohobe travel for sure! CeciliaWritten September 18, 2021

I did the City Tour and Sunset Dhow Cruise. Both were great. The guides were good, professional and their timing was prompt.
Ahead of that they also supported my visa application. I’d highly recommend.
