About Zanzibar Nature Trails

We are a registered, privately owned tour operator based in Zanzibar, run by a team with long experience in the tourism industry.

Zanzibar rewards curiosity. In Stone Town you walk past centuries of Swahili, Arab, Indian and European history, and a short drive away the east-coast beaches and reefs set the pace of the island. We design our tours around both, for couples, families and groups of friends.

We can arrange hotels, transfers and activities together or separately, so you can start with one tour or plan the whole stay.
