We did a very nice Mnemba Island tour with a snorkeling adventure. On the way to Mnemba our crew searched for dolphins. We found a big group of dolphins and where able to swim with them very closely. After that we went to the island and did some snorkeling. On the way back to our Hotel our crew brought us to the turtel aquarium where we needed to buy an additional ticket for 10dollar each.
In the evening we did a Sunset cruise which was accompanied with swahili music. We enjoyed it with fresh fruits and nice people together on the boat.
The third adventure booked at Mawingu Tours was a jet ski ride. We receive as promised a very fast jet ski and could drive it half an hour as we wanted to.
I can warmly recommend doing all these tours around Zanzibar together with Mawingu and his team. Thank you for your support.

This tour was nothing short of amazing! Mawingu was the perfect tour guide and really made this, a trip of a lifetime for our family. We felt safe and everything was well organised. I cannot reccomend them enough! We saw breathtaking landscapes and the wildlife was unreal. More than we could have hoped for. Ngorongoro Crater was my absolute favourite. We would definetley do a tour with them again.

A perfect stay made grandiose thanks to Said whom we met on the beach of the Riu Palace hotel in Zanzibar.
We did several excursions with him like swimming with dolphins, visiting Nmemba beach, jet skiing, excursion to Prison Island to see giant turtles and the fabulous Safari Blue. A perfect guide and a serious business. Don't trust the trinket vendors on the beach, Said has nothing to do with them, you can go for it with your eyes closed !
See you next year my friend, thank you for everything.
The kiss from France 😉

Not representative for spice farms in Zanzibar ! A lot of garbage so Not worth a stop over, better to go anywhere else than here.

We booked a tour on the Riu Palace Beach to stone town and we had the best experience. Very friendly guy, and then the driver and the tour guide were very professional. Couldn’t recommend it more!

We did every activity with Mawingu and his team, everything went flawless! Don’t believe the hotel staff when they tell you not to go near the beach boys.
We did Mikumi Safari which was perfect, we also got to see two big male lions which is rare. Our guide took a detour to see them up close, which was very nice.
The Blue Safari was also good, we got to see a sandbank where we were able to sit, relax, swim and tan for a while. After that we moved to Kwale Island, and island where you can buy a lot of souvenirs. There we saw one of the biggest Babuy trees. Unfortunately we had no luck with the blue lagoon, as the tide was low at that moment. However we did see the mangrove that’s in the lagoon, so in both cases it’s worth the watch!
We did the Spice Farm, Jozani Forest and Kuza Cave privately in 1 day. This was an amazing day, the Spice Farm was surprisingly fun! We bought a bunch of organic spices for back home. We also got to see a local climb a coconut tree which is astounding!
At the Jozani Forest we saw beautiful monkeys, they come very close to you and they’re not scared either. You shouldn’t be either, they are very friendly!
The Kuza Cave was spectacular, you can swim in natural non salt water, fresh from the ground. This is a beautiful place to take pictures and videos.
Last but not least, we did Mnemba Island first and Jetski in the afternoon.
Mnemba Island was so beautiful, we also got to swim up close with dolphins and snorkled with amazing fish. This is very recommended, if you are lucky you can actually swim right next to a dolphin.
Personal suggestion: get a gopro head band, swimming with it in these waves is difficult.
The jetski was very fast and fun to do, had half an hour of immense fun riding with and against the waves.
Thank you to Mawingu and his team for making our trip amazing.
Greetings,
Tony

A great experience, the guide was very kind and available.
We were able to do other activities, nothing to say, everything went as planned.
I recommend it to you 100%

We visited Mnemba island where we did some snorkelling, on our way back we saw dolphins swimming in the open sea. They took an extra detour to ensure we were able to see more dolphins as we hadn’t seen any on our way out.
We took a day trip to spice farm, Nakupendo island, Prison island and stone town.
Nakupendo island was our favourite!!! we stayed until the island had almost disappeared with the high tide, the feeling of being in the middle of the ocean with nature at its best is second to none. The lunch they provided was also scrumptious!There was no pressure from the team to get us off.
The tortoises on prison island we’re amazing!
We also took the sunset cruise which was really fun. I just wish I had my swimming costume on so I could have jumped into the sea from the top deck of the boat!
The turtle conservation farm was another trip where we got to feed and swim with the turtles!!
It was an incredible holiday made so by Captain Mawingu and his crew!
Thank you so very much
