— About us
Zanzibar travel, handled locally.
ZanVanilla Safari & Tours is a tour operator based in Nungwi, Zanzibar. We run our ground operations ourselves — day tours, holiday packages, Tanzania safaris and transfers — so every part of your trip is in one pair of hands.
Who we are
Our team has worked in Zanzibar’s tourism industry for more than four years. We know the island — the best time to reach the sandbanks, which beaches suit families, where the dolphins are — and we use that knowledge to plan trips that feel easy.
The internet is full of conflicting reviews and confusing logistics. We take that away: airport pickup, hotel, tours and safaris, arranged by one team with real attention to detail and a personal touch.
Our mission
To create memorable holidays in Zanzibar and Tanzania at fair prices — meeting our guests’ needs, exceeding their expectations, and running our business in an ethical, environmentally responsible and sustainable way.
Our vision
To become Zanzibar’s leading tour operator and our guests’ most trusted partner — always offering the best experiences, the highest quality of service, and a real commitment to our community and environment.
