— About our Zanzibar tours
Zanzibar tours, excursions & safaris from Nungwi
ZanVanilla Safari & Tours is a local tour operator based in Nungwi, on the north coast of Zanzibar. We plan and run private full-day tours, half-day tours and activities across the island, from snorkeling with dolphins at Mnemba Atoll and the Safari Blue sandbank trip to the Stone Town walking tour, the spice farms, Prison Island and the Jozani Forest red colobus monkeys.
Staying longer? Our Zanzibar holiday packages combine your hotel, airport transfers and hand-picked tours into one plan, tailored to your dates and budget. Want to add wildlife to your beach holiday? We also arrange Tanzania safaris from Zanzibar — day trips by flight to Mikumi or Selous, or longer Serengeti and Ngorongoro itineraries.
