Great experience - Juma was recommended by a friend. All arrangements from airport transfers to hotel and tours were arranged via Whatsapp. Juma organised everything. His communication was prompt and clear, making it an effortless process. Juma welcomed us personally at the airport and introduced us to Rashid who was responsible for driving us around Zanzibar. Language was a problem but Rashid more than made up for it with his friendly, patient and accommodating nature. Ebrahim, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided insightful commentary, enriching our understanding. The team at the Spice Farm were very friendly and humble. Captain Mzii went out of his way to ensure that we got to see the dolphins. Asante Saana to the team of Happy Tours and Safaris....

Wonderful family experience with Abraham - We had one day from Nungwi Beach to see Zanzibar city. Abraham was awesome!!! He was punctual, extremely friendly and accommodating for our group of 7. He had a great sense of humor and it was like traveling with a friend of the family. He made sure we saw everything we wanted to see and even stayed a little longer so that we could see everything. We and our kids loved Abraham spirit. I would highly recommend this tour and especially Abraham!!

Worth the price - Our guide was friendly and asked us what we wanted to do and where we’d like to go around Stone Town, let us have enough time to explore every place, take pictures and read about each place we visited.

THE BEST TRIP OF MY LIFE!!!. - I just recently returned from 10 days in Zanzibar/Tanzania. For the first 6 days we used happy Tours and Safaris Ltd from the moment we landed to when we left the country they were there, between airport transfers to the actual Zanzibar guides, everything was well organized. We had a group of 16 of us so we had 3 different drivers from Happy Tours and Safaris Ltd. Rashid, fadhil and Omar were absolutely amazing. We saw so much and learned so much from them! I highly recommend Happy Tours and Safaris Ltd. It seemed all 3 drivers had so much experience. Juma who was my guide had over 20 years' experience. Any questions we had he knew the answer to. Not only was knowledgeable but also he was so accommodating to us. My husband was sick for a day, and he come to check on us, was quite and getting him back to health. I can't recommend HAPPY TOURS AND SAFARIS enough🥰😝.

3 days of activities with happy Tours and Safaris Ltd. - Juma was an excellent tour guide who went above and beyond to ensure that our 3 days of activities was not only enjoyable, but also unforgettable. His knowledge about Zanzibar island and their geographical status was impressive,and he was always willing to answer any questions we had. His attention to detail and care for our safety and comfort made us feel at ease through the entire trip. I would highly recommend Happy Tours and Safaris Ltd to anyone looking for Zanzibar experience.
