Driver was not present at airport upon our arrival. I waited 15 minutes before calling the business phone, driver answered and told me he was not coming. He said the company never informed him of a pickup that day. I booked this private transfer to avoid dealing with random taxis at 3am, but that’s exactly what I was forced to do. Please do not book with company.

I ordered almost all my Zanzibar tours and transfers at Mo tours & safaris, and was very much pleased by their work. Mohammed Ali turned to be very knowleadgeble and thoughtful person, and what was extremely important for me - absolutely reliable. My ferry from Dar Es Salaam to Zanibar was delayed for 3 hours, while I had no phone and internet connection to inform Mo about this delay. Moreover, I had to spend additional time in the port for the border formalities - and it was such a great happines to see Mo istill waiting for me to transfer to my hotel. I highly recommend his service.

Pickup from Michamvi very early in the morning, we went to the north and take a boat to Mnemba. It was a long trip but worth it. There were so many dolphins playing so closer, we enjoyed it and also the marine life at Mnemba is amazing. Ahmed was there with us during this trip, he was so helpful. I really recommend the trip.
