What people love about Nairobi to Zanzibar Tours
- Nairobi to Zanzibar: Serengeti & Sunsets
Amazing sights and locations to experience. Tour logistics- plans for the day, accommodation details, special considerations, etc. could have been better communicated, both in advance and during the tour itself. Time in Zanzibar could be better scheduled, but otherwise it was a great experience. Fellow travelers were also good company.
The experience lived in this venture is unique. We thank the organizers, the guides for this experience. I dreamed from an early age that I could see animals in their environment, not locked in cages, and this dream was fulfilled in this journey. Thanks,
Classic Serengeti & Zanzibar

Martin and Joseph our cook made the first week of the trip very memorable because of the great leadership good spirit and great food they provided
