I can't tell you how happy I am to have chanced upon Haji on the beach outside my hotel in Matemwe. He is a beautiful and honest person, ready to share the culture and beauty of his country with us tourists, while showing absolute professionalism and at a very practical price. He helped us 100% plan a tailor-made excursion, devoting his entire day to our wishes and being extremely well prepared, unlike the manager of our own hotel who tried to rip us off and send us on the most expensive excursion basic and the most expensive. We started the tour with Ahdji by taking a small boat right in front of the hotel and snorkeling early in the morning, an amazing experience. We then swam with dolphins near Mnemba Island and took the road to Stone Town where we spent the rest of the day immersing ourselves in the colors of this amazing town. The driver was very professional and drove safely - which is not at all a guarantee on the island - and we were taken care of very well. Unfortunately, it was shortly before the end of our vacation, but we will be sure to book a tour with him the next time we are in Zanzibar again and, in the meantime, we can only wholeheartedly recommend him to other travelers! p.s. The music playlist for the car ride is worth mentioning - I discovered so many local artists who make exceptional songs!

Haji is a knowledgeable guide. He showed us many attractions in Stonetown and also Prison Island. It was a very nice tour where we also learned about the history of Zanzibar. I recommend Haji’s tour.
I booked two tours (Prison Island & Stone Town and Mnemba Atoll) with Hajitours. The tours were super organized, Haji and his colleague speak good German. I felt very comfortable, asante sana!
Perfectly organized dream day in Zanzibar! We booked an excursion in Zanzibar and are absolutely thrilled. The organization was top-notch from start to finish. It was especially great that everything was explained perfectly in German – so we learned a lot and were able to enjoy the day in a relaxed way. It was truly a dreamlike day! Anyone looking for a reliable and likable guide is in the right place with Haji. We can highly recommend him!
Very nice and informative tour. Haji took great care of everything. Happy to do it again.
Haji was recommended to us by a couple from the hotel. We contacted via WhatsApp and booked directly. Haji picked us up super punctually at the hotel and took us on a city tour of Stone Town. Afterwards we went on to a spice farm. We also got a guided tour there with a coconut tasting. The authentic lunch on the farm was great. Finally we visited the aquarium. We had the opportunity to swim with the turtles and feed them. The trip was great! We felt safe at all times and would book with him again.
Very nice guide, speaks very good German. Can I recommend with a clear conscience.
Fully recommended. Haji picked us up on time at the hotel and transported us safely to Stone Town and back. On the way we have already learned a lot about the island and its inhabitants. The city tour was very informative and we were given enough time and space with baby for breaks and shopping stops. Haji speaks very good German and allows complete individuality in planning and during the tour.
We went to Prison Island, Stone Town, then a safari and Tanzania. Everything was perfectly planned. Organized you can only recommend.
Our guide Haji made this day an unforgettable day. His in-depth knowledge and flexibility to make the Tsg ideal was really great. We can only warmly recommend him
Haji was recommended to us by acquaintances. Safari Tour Top organized Sandbar&Dolphin swim top. Stone Town .The Cave Turtles and Jozani Forest Must sees . Everything was German-speaking and special requests were fulfilled ,wanted to visit a school class to drop off pens and small things, everything was implemented without long considering . The first excursion was supervised by Haji, the other times by his brother Abdul .Both German-speaking and competent. Highly recommended
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect day at Stone Town & Spice Farm – highly recommended! We had a great private tour with our guide and can recommend him without restriction. The day started in Stone Town, where everything was explained to us beautifully and very vividly in German. We visited the most important historical places and received exciting background information. It was particularly pleasant that our questions were answered at all times and we never felt “passed through”. At our request, we then went through the traditional spice and fish market. There we were able to experience real, local life – authentic, original and absolutely impressive. Throughout the tour we were traveling with an air-conditioned vehicle, which was very pleasant in the temperatures. There were regular inquiries to see if everything was okay and we were always well supplied with water – really very attentive and professionally organised. A special highlight was the traditional local lunch we had wanted. We were taken to a beautiful location in the middle of a bush and jungle landscape – and the food surprised us absolutely positively. Authentic, fresh and incredibly delicious! After dinner we continued to a spice farm. This part of the tour was also very interesting and well designed. Overall, we were on the road from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. – an all-round successful day with perfect organization, a lot of knowledge, warmth and genuine hospitality. Absolutely recommend!
Everything worked out as planned. Haji is reliable, punctual and very friendly. He speaks very good German, answered our questions and explained everything well. We had a second day tour, with domestic flight to Mikumi Park, a great experience. Thank you for that.
I came across Haji in a Facebook group when he was offering tours with a German speaking guide. We booked a one-day safari in Mikumi National Park through him. The trip was super great, everything was well organized and worked out great. We were picked up in the morning punctually by Haji at the hotel and taken to the airport. The safari guide also took great care of us and told us a lot about the park, the animals, but also the country and people. The driver also did a great job, so we could see everything we cared about that day (lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, elephants, monkeys, hyena, antelope, crocodile, hippos, div. Birds, Buffalo). Really great. We also booked a private Stone Town tour with a visit to Jozani National Park at Haji. Both were very nice and interesting. Finally we visited the Rock. That was also very impressive and must have been seen. We would always book tours with Haji. He is very friendly, reliable and does a great job.
We say THANK YOU to Hatji, super organized, punctual and a great guided tour of Stonetown and an indescribably beautiful experience on Prison Island...the market was also a unique atmosphere for us, which you just have to witness...super team! But not only this trip we could enjoy with him, also the safari tour was great...thank you
Good organized tour through Jozani National Park, then Prison Island and last but not least Haji brought us closer to the city of stonetown. He told us a lot about the history of Zanzibar, had an answer to every question and also gave us time to explore something ourselves. He is a competent, reliable guide. Thank you Haji
We were already looking for a German speaking guide 6 months before our trip and came across Haji. Contact via WhatsApp was quick and easy. We then scheduled several tours (Stone Town, Prison Island, Safari and Dolphin Tour). Haji was on time for pick up, super friendly and very flexible in the process of tours. He speaks German very well and has brought us closer to his country in his friendly and funny way. He always responded to our wishes - even small changes on our part he made immediately possible (we wanted to see "The Rock"; Haji immediately agreed to that). All in all, we can say that we cannot think of a better guide. Thank you dear Haji for giving us so many beautiful moments.
It was a great day with lots of nice experiences and information. Haji is a super guide who guided us very kindly through the day.
The tour of Stone Town with Haji was really great. He responded individually to our wishes and convinced us with in-depth knowledge of the city. Pick up at the hotel was on time. The trip to Prison Island was also worth seeing. We did 2 more tours (snorkeling and Jozani Forest) with him and were very satisfied.
Great tour with Haji, we were picked up from the airport on time and went to a local small restaurant on the waterfront for breakfast. Great recommendation! Then we walked through the city together and it was all explained to us great ! An all-round successful start. I can totally recommend Haji, especially for guests who do not speak English. He speaks very good German!
We had a wonderful private day trip where all our wishes were fulfilled. From the planning to the day trip everything was well organized and we felt very comfortable. Our guide was German speaking so everything was perfect for us. He was able to answer all our questions and told us a lot about Zanzibar. All our wishes were fulfilled and we were mega happy.
We had a really great day with Haji on Zanzibar! He was only out with the two of us, super relaxed and totally aligned to our wishes. So we were able to see a lot, experience and just enjoy. He speaks top German, which has made everything even easier and more enjoyable. It was truly an unforgettable, beautiful and fun excursion. We booked another day directly through him and can recommend him 100%!
We stayed with the guide Suleman on Stone town & prison island It was great tour he showed us a lot had a lot of fun was very nice
Haji is a very attentive tour guide with a lot of detailed knowledge, who is also happy to make special requests possible. He showed us the historic Stonetown and guided us through the many alleys. In addition, we were provided with a lot of background knowledge and impressions about life on Zanzibar today. Stonetown is a must-see and must-see when you are on holiday in Zanzibar. My personal highlight was visiting Prison Island: I fell in love with the Aldabra giant schikd toads. Such fascinating animals! The boat trip there as well as the whole tour was organized by Haji very professionally, everything went smoothly. His car is well maintained and as clean as it comes directly from the car wash. The car journey was always an experience in itself due to the road conditions and the fast road users, but with Haji we felt in good hands in the car and safely transported.
We are completely delighted with the private tours with Haji that we conducted during our stay in Zanzibar. One of them was the trip to Stone Town and Prison Island. Haji speaks very good German, is very friendly and in his way very pleasant, non-intrusive and very chilled. He responded very well to our needs and we felt safe in his car. He drives very well and has an outstanding local knowledge. We can only recommend him.
We spent two super great days with Haji. He is a very nice and dear person and speaks excellent German. Haji brought us very close to Zanzibar and its inhabitants with a lot of knowledge and explanations. He has responded well to our wishes and showed us the real life in Zanzibar. We did the Stonetown Tour, Spice Tour, Snorkel Tour and Country & People Tour together and each was unique. If you visit Zanzibar, book with Haji!!!! You won't regret it. Here again a heartfelt thank you
We booked two tours with Haji. One of them was a private tour of Stone Town and Prison Island. Communication went smoothly in advance via WhatsApp and Haji responded very well to individual requests. We were able to book the visit to the aquarium without any problems. The tour itself was carried out by Haji's brother together with a rider. The former speaks very good German and was able to tell us a lot about the island of Zanzibar itself as well as the life, culture and history of the island. We also booked a one-day safari in Mikumi National Park. Haji himself took over the transfer to the airport. After a short flight to the mainland we were welcomed by Witness, our guide for the safari. Witness also speaks super German and was able to give us a lot of information about the national park and the animals living there. So they were two super organized trips that we can only recommend!
Anyone looking for a German-speaking guide is really perfectly advised here. Well-versed. Takes care of
The trips had been very nice and informative. Haji explained a lot to us and brought it across well. We'll be back!
A very nice tour. We have received many new impressions, seen and experienced many new things. Haji explained so much to us and showed us off the beaten track. Thanks to him and his brother.
Besides Stone Town we also visited a spice farm and the aquarium with the water turtles. Here you can feed the turtles and swim with them. The day tour was very well organized and informative. Haji speaks German very well. This way you can learn a lot about the history of the island, country and people first hand. We'll be back!
We were already the 2nd. Sometimes on the road with Haji and are very happy to have found him again after 8 years. We did two tours with him and were totally thrilled again. He is absolutely reliable, super likeable and has a huge knowledge and speaks perfect German! We passed it on directly to other guests on site at the hotel, who could spontaneously book 3 tours and were also totally enthusiastic!! We would book him again any time and will definitely do so!! Thank you very much dear Haji!
We got Haji recommended by a couple at the hotel who have already booked their tours from Germany. We wrote Haji via WhatsApp (late evening) and also got a direct reply. We booked a safari to Mikumi National Park and guided a private day tour from Haji to Stown Town, spice farm and swimming with sea turtles. We had two unforgettable days thanks to Haji and all the contributors. In Mikumi National Park Haji was not there herself, however we had the German-speaking Witness here who spent the day with us and also spoke German very well. The private tour with Haji was very great, he speaks very good German is super nice and cared for everyone's well-being. He can explain everything in German and has an answer to every question. He has been with us almost 8h from picking up at the hotel to returning after the tour. He contributed for a wonderful time on Zanzibar and the day trip with him was a lot of fun for us. I can recommend the tours with Haji to anyone.
We got a good insight into the hustle and bustle of the old town by visiting various markets. A fish auction in particular was very exciting. Recently, we were able to view Old and New Town from the highest point.
They were all Mega Organized Tours. Whether with Sahim, Haji, Witnes, Harry Potter and our driver Ali. All were super friendly, responded to ALL questions and are very competent in what they do. The safari with Witnes was particularly impressive. Witnes is a wonderful woman who excels in this male domain. Thank you so much for bringing us this fascinating country with so much warmth and giving us such a wonderful and unforgettable holiday 100% Recommendation Best regards Andreas and Maria
All 4 trips with Hatschi were just perfect - very punctual, very committed and very nice with all participants. Answered a lot of questions, always asked if everything fits or if we want to change something. An all-round carefree package - easy to recommend . THANK YOU!
We booked four trips through Haji and everything went great. Haji is always available and makes everything possible. We were more than happy with him. He is super nice and speaks German very well. On our excursions we learned a lot about Zanzibar.
Thank you Haji...we had wonderful trips with you in Zanzibar. 🇹🇿🏝️☀️ Milla was so excited and will show some photos in her school class next week. We have learned so much about the beautiful island and have seen and experienced so many valuable things. I can recommend the tours with you to anyone...Best regards, Milla and family
An impressive tour, the history and life in Zanzibar was impressively conveyed to us by our tour guide " Hatji". Hatji speaks several languages including German very well. I can only recommend his tours, as the price and performance are right. Thank you Hatji and Abdullah. 👍😀😀😀😀
Already from Germany we contacted Haji via WhatsApp, which worked totally uncomplicated and quickly. We had made 3 indescribable beautiful trips with him. The One Day Safari was fantastic and an unforgettable experience for us. We saw a lot of animals and our German speaking guide was great. Stone Town, a very old town with winding alleys and many small highlights (slave market, Freddy Mercury house, etc.) is not to be missed. Prison Island with its giant turtles was also great and interesting for us. Haji is a great, competent young man who told us a lot about people and country , thus bringing us closer to Zanzibar. All 3 excursions were very well organized from A to Z. Hotel pickup was always reliable and punctual. We felt safe and in good hands at all times. Therefore, we can recommend Haji 100%, so 5 stars for you Haji. Asante Sana
Super nice guide who speaks perfect German and knows the history and the island very well. A private tour is worthwhile. We recommend it!
We found the tour beautiful , the sandbar was incredible , the guide explained a lot to us and was always very nice always responded to our wishes we recommend 100% more
We took two beautiful tours with Haji. Once Stonetown and then The Rock, Jozaniforest and Spicefarm. Both tours were well organized. Haji has a great knowledge of Zanzibar. We can highly recommend him. Thanks for everything. Greetings from Gunda and Thomas
We took Haji on both the Stone Town and Prison Island tours, as well as the Turtle, Dolphin and Snorkel Tours – and each of these experiences was simply unique! Haji impressed us not only with his extensive knowledge of the history and culture of Zanzibar, but also made sure that we felt very safe and well looked after at all times. He knows his way around and has provided us with a lot of interesting information on every tour that has enriched our stay. Particularly noteworthy is how he responded to all our wishes and needs, always patient and friendly. Whether we had questions about the island or the activities, Haji was always by our side and made us feel in good hands. Thank you, Haji, for teaching us so much about Zanzibar and its history and for giving us unforgettable experiences. We will definitely come back and can only warmly recommend you!
We had a great experience! Communication via WhatsApp was fast and straightforward. Always on time and very reliable. Haji has an impressive knowledge of the island and could give us many valuable tips. We particularly appreciate the flexibility. Haji also speaks very good German. Highly recommended!☺️
