Unique and Eye-Opening Tour - We really enjoyed our tour on Ukerewe Island with Shangaa Africa. Paschal was friendly, experienced, and very knowledgeable about the island. The traditional healer visit was a very special experience. We learned about traditional healing practices and local herbs used by the islanders. It was very educational and respectful of local traditions. This tour gave us a deeper understanding of life on Ukerewe Island, and we would definitely recommend it to other travelers.

Great experience !! - I booked two day tours with Pasco! On the first one, we explored nature and everyday life of the local people on Ukerewe Island. On the second tour, we went to Bwiro Island — a fascinating island where life mainly revolves around fishing. Both trips were wonderful. I especially loved the contact with the local families and that we discovered the Most beautiful places I would never have visited without Pasco! Pasco speaks perfect English, which makes it easy to learn more about the island and its people and to really dive into the local culture and way of life. I would book Pasco again anytime. Thank you for such a great experience!

Best way to see the island - Fantastic Island and great company with Yohana as a guide, he was very knowledgeable about the island and although I was only there for a short time I saw and learnt a lot. Highlight was helping some fishermen bring in their net to then buy the fish off them directly and have it for dinner! Worh a visit to any tourist near mwanza, and if you’re up for the challenge of biking around it’s a great way to see island.

The best tour in Ukerewe - My bike tour with Paschal was a great way to explore Ukerewe Island. He is very good at his job and very attentive. I chose the early morning tour, which was a good decision because the weather was still cool. I will always remember this tour.
