I have travelled in and out of Zanzibar many times, but there is always a moment — as you step into Zanzibar — when the island reminds you of what it is. The air is heavier, the light sharper, life unfolding without performance. This is the Zanzibar I know: raw, unfiltered and alive. When you arrive, there is that familiar feeling — the feeling that you've been here before.

My name is Mr. Mbonde, and I founded Zanzitan Placement Tours & Safaris — a proudly local company — to share Uasilia wa Kizanzibari: the true essence of Zanzibar as I’ve lived it. This island is raw, unfiltered, and vibrantly alive — a beautiful blend of African, Arab, and Swahili cultures, each with its own rich story. I invite you to walk with me, meet my people, and discover the soul of Zanzibar through the eyes of someone who calls it home.
