Cheetah’s rock in my opinion is one of the best things you can do in Zanzibar. The conservation center with amazing ethic of doing the best they can to take care of and save the animals allows you to take a look at their work, learn unique story of each animal and become a part of their lives by feeding them or playing with. The animals you will get to see are : Lemurs, Bengal Tigers, Pumas, Otters, big Turtles, a Zebra named Chaka , Lions , Bush Babies and different Monkeys! You will be able to go and sit next to a Cheetah and take photos, play with a zebra , pet a peacock, feed lemurs , turtles, monkeys abs bush babies as well as pet a Bengal tiger (all the activities are safe!) The important info: the center offers two experiences : Otter swimming for 160 USD and a walking safari for 160 USD. It is totally worth it! ( your money goes to feeding and supporting these animals). Me and my sister have only gone to a safari and it was wonderful! VERY IMPORTANT: when you go pls wear comfortable clothes , no skirts or dresses as you might fight is hard to sit on floor etc. Also, do not wear any type of big jewelry because Mona keys are rly good at spotting it and taking some straight from you neck or hair ????. ( one of the women was wearing a floor on her hair and well, monkeys were trying hard in pulling her hair and taking the flower????...). Well, after your booking you will get all the details and PLEASE read them through , it will contain a lot of useful information and it’s not long. Moreover, all the guides in your tour speak good English , which was smth I worried about because in Zanzibar people spoke English with an accent I could not understand or didn’t speak English at all apart from two-three words. P.S. I have included some pictures of what you can definitely expect at Cheetah’s rock!

I had the pleasure to visit Chumbe Island for the day, while touring around Zanzibar on a FAM trip. My only regret is that we didn’t have time to spend the night. Our next trip to the island I will definitely book for the overnight. I love the fact that the maximum occupancy on the island is 14! As a travel agent who specializes in travel to East Africa I have booked clients to this amazing coral reef sanctuary and they have all loved it. The eco-bungalows are not for everyone but if you’re a “get back to nature” or “nature lover” type of traveller then this is likely a place you’ll fall in love with. I have so much respect for the design of the bungalows and love how eco-friendly and “open-air” they are. The snorkelling was amazing and how could it not be?!? The entire project is centred around the protection of the marine life on the west coast of the island ???? ???????????????????????? The lunch served as part of the day trip was so tasty and the friendly staff really added to our experience. I really enjoyed the nature walk where we learned about the coconut crabs and we got to climb to the top of the lighthouse for an amazing bird’s eye view of this special island. I highly recommend for you to book at least two nights on this private island, to really enjoy the peace and quiet that is Chumbe. Day trips are only available for last minute bookings as space is limited for their overnight guests. Asante sana to the entire staff, we will definitely be back and I will continue to promote your island to my clients ????

We visited Makoa Farm for a tour with Noah. He was very knowledgeable and it was clear just how much he cared for all of the animals! He was welcomining and friendly, greeting us with drinks on arrival. We were taken around the Farm and Noah explained to us why each of the animals had been been rescued and whether they were suitable for release. In addition to this, he provided us with interesting facts about all of the animals and the Farm itself. Some of the animal we saw during our visit were baby elephants, baby zebra, cheetah, monkeys, bush pig, owls and mongoose. The tour was very easy to organise, we contacted the Farm via Facebook and they responded very quickly. They also helpfully recommended a cheap taxi driver to take us to the Farm from Moshi. When booking, we were advised that they ask for a small minimum donation in return for organising a tour - this was a modest price to pay for our experience and we are pleased that our donation can assist with the running of the Farm. We would absolutely recommend a visit here - such an amazing charity with incredible animals.

This is an amazing park and even not too crowded! Lots of animal sightings - elephants, wildebeest, lions, leopards, warthogs, antelope (Impalas, Dic-Dic, Thomson and Grand gazelles, zebras, and cape buffalo to name a few. We observed an elephant herd crossing to get to the river for a drink and they walked directly in front of our safari land cruiser. Lots of zebra and elephants. Our guide, Felix (from Nomad Tanzania) was excellent. He never rushed us through the park, but allowed us to take our time and enjoy the animals at our own pace (whether we wanted to spend time viewing them for their activities or just a quick drive by as the Impalas are numerous!). That was most appreciated. This was our first park to visit in Tanzania so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it by far exceeded expectations. The habitats vary - from wetland marshes to dry, long grassy areas to woodland savannahs. Ostriches were a pleasant surprise as well as a leopard with his "kill" lounging in a tree (it was a far distance away so we were grateful to our guide). We saw many elephants and zebra and were amazed at the instincts each displayed. Truly two days very well spent during our time in Tanzania.

Chole bay is the part of Mafia island marine park from here you do snorkeling and diving is the one of best place for divers
Reviewed By LookingForFamilyFun - Houston, United States
The only negative about the snorkels here is they're reached by boat, not much from shore. But we stayed at Kinasi Lodge and they had regular trips with good guides that would meet you with the boat if the current was swift, some of our best snorkels were drifting with a strong current and the boat picking us up, but we also enjoyed watching the octopus near the rocks and the sheltered slow snorkels there. Very excellent snorkeling & we've snorkeled the world-over. Not very crowded, we highly recommend Mafia Island, Kinasi Lodge, and Chole Bay!

We had a long discussion with my friends on which company to select for our Tansania safaris since all the companies we had on list was selected online. After a long long conversation we decided to go with two companies but We liked the way Daudi was honesty and prompt to all of our questions and worriers. He assured us the best from his team and also he gave us the best prices with the best accommodations. So we decided to book with them, on our arrival we were so happy to met this incredible team with Maasai Blankets for us as gifts, Something we didnt expect. We visited Maasai's Boma and went on safari(Siringeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangise, Sorry if i didn't write it correctly) Still remembering the song 'Jambo Jambo buana' The Driver Bryson was very funny and had eagle's eye to spot animals from the far distance. Seringeti was my favorite park. Whenever you are looking for a safari dont hesitate to book with them. Thank you Tansania, Thank your Daudi and Bryson.
