Paddle Zanzibar’s mangroves, visit quiet beaches and Unguja Ukuu with guide Amor on a three-hour eco-friendly kayak tour.
“De activiteit was hartstikke leuk. Amour was een hele vriendelijke en gezellige gids, die ons veel heeft geleerd over de mangrove. Je kajakt ongeveer 1,5u/2u door de mangrove en daarna krijg je een fruitlunch op het strand. Ik persoonlijk had gehoopt om iets meer dieren te zien (krabben, kreeftjes etc), maar daar kan de gids niks aandoen. Mocht je in de buurt zijn en kajakken leuk vinden is dit zeker een aanrader.”
Ride Zanzibar’s coastal paths by quad, visit villages, enjoy fruit and coconut drinks, and ask about drone photos before booking.
“Nice quad ride. The quads are well maintained. Visit to a stunning beach with a beautiful sandbar at low tide, followed by a traditional village, with the villagers. Just that it's still a bit touristy, with the kids having to buy stuff and snatching the treats as soon as they're out. I'm not against giving and sharing in return for their welcome, but I think it distorts their authenticity. But I loved seeing all these kids with their beautiful smiles. Lots of poverty. Our guide Alex speaks French really well, he was adorable, attentive, and took us some great family photos. We'll keep a nice memory of this outing. Thanks…”
