I would recommend to everyone - Great, friendly, expert guide. First we wanted to visit Stone Town alone, but without Omar it wouldn't be so amazing. Thanks!

Prison Island and Nakupenda - We with the Omar Guide, chose to do the Prison island excursion and it was a truly unique experience, to do if you come to Zanzibar. Omar and the staff were extremely helpful, including explanation of the history of Prison Island and the other islands, really fascinating, and the delicious lunch cooked on a strip of sand, also called Nakupenda. Repeat beautiful experience, Recommendation to everyone!!

Prison Island & Nakupenda - We were looking for a 100% local experience and found it. Day spent with Omar, very kind and attentive to our every need and curiosity. He took us to Prison Island, where we had time to visit and greet the giant turtles that inhabit it. Not to mention the delicious fish lunch in Nakupenda. Thank you for the wonderful day!
