Hi Dawie.

We had an awesome time in Zanzibar. The hotel was nice and the staff very friendly actually all the locals were incredibly friendly. Your Zanzibar representative drivers were great and informative. We did two tours. One being Stone Town & The Spice Tour. I preferred The Spice Tour but the best tour of them all was the Safari Blue which included a marvellous feast amongst many things. We would love to go back to Zanzibar and we are convincing our friends to start saving so we can go in a group next time. I have downloaded many photo’s taken onto my facebook page if you want to go and look through. Unfortunately we only have one of the two of us!

Anyways it was a fantastic experience!

Thanks so much for all your help with setting this up, I think we’d of been a bit lost without you.

Hi Dawie / Rose

Vreeslik jammer jul hoor nou eers iets van ons.

Ek wil namens ons groep BAIE BAIE BAIE DANKIE se vir n wonderlike vakansie in Zanzibar. Dit was n ongelooflike ervaring wat ons vir altyd sal bewaar. Baie dankie vir al jul reelings om ons vakansie onvergeetlik te maak. Jul diens is PUIK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ons was baie hartseer om so gou weer terug te kom. Van ons daar aangeland het, was dit een groot fees.

By Arabian Nights het die personeel oorgeloop van vriendelikheid. En wat n beautiful plek!!!!!!

Ons was BAIE dankbaar vir die aircons in die kamers – dit was n hitte wat ons sweerlik nog nooit ervaar het nie!!!!!

En die see en wit strande was awesome!!!!!! Ons het n paar toere so tussendeur die “rus” gedoen. Ons was Stone Town toe, het die Safari Blue toer gedoen – highly recommended!!!!!!!!

Ons het ook die spice toer gedoen, ons was prison island toe om die GROOOOT skilpaaie te gaan kyk. Ongelooflik mooi!!!

Verder het ons heerlik in die swembad baljaar, langs die strand gestap, by verskillende restaurante gaan eet rondom ons blyplek. Dit was waarlik een groot fees.

Hier is so 3 foto’tjies. Die groep foto was geneem die oggend toe ons vertrek het.

Baie dankie weereens vir jul uitstaande diens. Jul het ons vakansie meer as die moeite werd gemaak!!!!!

Groete

Melitia

Hi Rose

We arrived back to an unpleasantly freezing JHB on Tuesday.  Just wanted to say thank you for all your advice and arrangements; Zanzibar is BEAUTIFULL; i even loved the morning we spent in Stone Town;  we will definately go back annually to kite board there.  All worked out well for us; Paje is definately the best spot to kite for beginners to advanced.  The guys from Island excursions represented you very well; they were amazingly on-time/professional and informative.  Arabian nights also worked out well; i was surprised to find a built in hair dryer; safe and little bar fridge in our room.  I think the thing is that if one has high expectations of anything one must go elsewhere; Zanzibar is definately the spot to go for beautifull beached/soft sand and water and to chill. You are welcome to use me as a reference if you like.  Many thanks once again. 

Kind Regards Nicky Kynoch xx

Hi there,

Wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time on Zanzibar.  Weather was great with only a couple of drops per day (not even 3 minutes long) in die morning with the rest of the day sun shine en sea. Die beach en sea at Paje is unbelievable  - especially during low tide when the sea is back for almost a km and you can then walk to the reef.
We did some tours as you recommended to Stone Town, the Safari Blue tour, Jozani Forest and also rented scooters to drive to the villages (Jambiani en Bwejuu).
Your people on Zanzibar was extremely professional en on time. Had no problems at all.

Many thanks for all your arrangements - only wished we could have stayed longer.

Regards

DC
