OUR WHY:
At Zanzibar Expert Tours, our “Discover Zanzibar” tours are about more than just sharing the beauty and culture of our beloved island with you; they’re also about giving something back and shaping the future.
We believe in the power of education to open up opportunities for Zanzibar’s young people. That’s why we use some of the money we earn from our tours to fund educational projects and scholarships for young people in Zanzibar. We are proud to not only showcase Zanzibar, but also actively participate in its development.
When you join us, you will experience the island’s past and present, and help shape a bright future for its children.

OUR TEAM:
Kassim:
My name is Kassim Mohd Pandu. I am the oldest in the group and I am proud to call Zanzibar my lifelong home. As a local guide, I live and breathe this island, from its sandy shores and winding alleyways to its vibrant communities.
Together, we will explore not only famous spots like the Blue Lagoon, the Jambiani Village Tour, the local game fishing tour and the southeast coast tour, but also the lesser-known corners that reveal the true spirit of Zanzibar.
We are proud of our heritage, traditions and hospitality, and I look forward to sharing them with you in a way that only a local can.
RAMA:
My name is Ramadhan Issa Abass, and I am a proud son of Zanzibar. I’ve grown up walking these shores, listening to the tales of our ancestors, and living the rhythm of island life.
As one of the four local Zanzibar Expert Team, I’ll take you beyond the usual spots — into the heart of our activities Blue Lagoon, Jambiani villages Tour, Local game fishing and South east Coast Tour.
Each place has a story, and I’m here to tell it.Join me for more than just a tour — this is a journey through the soul of Zanzibar.
Chum:
My name is Chum Ibrahim Chum, and I’m proud to say I was born and raised in the heart of Zanzibar. As part of the local Zanzibar Expert Team, I’ve spent my life surrounded by the beauty of these islands — the turquoise waters, the rich culture, and the vibrant people.
I’ll be your guide to places like the stunning Blue Lagoon, Jambiani villages Tour, Local game fishing and South east Coast Tour you won’t find in guidebooks.
This island is my home, and sharing its stories is my passion. With me, you won’t just see Zanzibar — you’ll feel it. Let’s explore together.
