Zanzibar is a barefoot beach-break that will have you sun-soaked and smiling. From diving alongside a pod of dolphins to snorkelling on a colourful coral reef and sipping cocktails while sailing on a traditional dhow, there is something for everyone here. This is why it remains one of the world’s most celebrated island holiday destinations. We are known as a highly professional and experienced operator for fishing and diving in Zanzibar. Our expat and local staff are well-trained, welcoming, and simply love what they do. Experiencing Zanzibar with us is as much about making new friends as it is about getting in the water.
All our centres offer the full range of PADI courses. First-time divers can sign-up for the Discover Scuba Diving course, while those who are wanting to take the plunge into professional diving, can become an accredited Open Water Scuba Instructor with us. Our commitment to your health, safety and protection is evidenced in our continuous perfect safety record. As part of an archipelago, Zanzibar is one of several islands off the Tanzanian coast. Wave Tours & Safari is just a boat-ride away from the Mnemba Atoll Marine Park, which is famous for its rich sea life and idyllic beach settings that can be experienced in a variety of ways. Along with fishing and diving, we offer snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing, water-skiing, parasailing, jet-skiing, kiteboarding, dhow cruises and other water-based activities, that range from adventurous to low-key.
A special treat that the Wave Tours & Safari crew love putting together is our Zanzibar ‘Seafari’. This is a full-day excursion that takes you out into the Mnemba Atoll, where you have the chance to spot turtles, dolphins and other incredible marine life while snorkelling for hours. The afternoon ends with a delicious seafood and mixed grill barbeque on the beach. You may even see the majestic whale sharks that migrate past the island twice a year or a pod of rare humpback dolphins that have been sighted several times. We look forward to welcoming you to Zanzibar and helping you plan fun, laid-back days in the sun. All you will need to do is spend your days swimming in the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean, feasting on delicious local cuisine on the beach and enjoying chilled drinks at sunset.

OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
We were on an 11-day tour of the Northern and Central/Urban part of Zanzibar with a group of 16. We could not have been happier. We were split into two groups each with a guide, Ali and Mohammed. But we were often together giving us two guides. They were wonderful, so knowledgeable, helpful and caring. They could not do enough for us. They were so open and honest about their lives we gained insights into Zanzibar we could never have had without them. They were also hilariously funny. We loved all our stops but would have liked to have spent another night in Kendwa. We would highly recommend the trip.
Very efficient tour operator. I booked the 8 days Zanzibar tour and everything was perfect. Since the beginning they were very efficient. They answer to all your questions within one day and they send all the information you need before departure. The tour was well organized, intensive because we only had 8 days but it really covered the most important places. My guide Ahmed was amazing, he explained a lot of things about the history and the culture of Zanzibar. he was always available for us and he helped to organize all the excursions during the free time. Definitely recommend them for a great time in Zanzibar.
After years of wanting to go to Tanzania, I landed in Zanzibar and in the good company of Mohamed. My booking with Khamis was efficient and she was super pragmatic about how I should go about the trip. Being a solo traveller can be expensive and I appreciated that Khamis and Mohamed were aware of this and provided me with options that didn’t burn a hole in my pocket. There was a genuine interest in curating my days to what I wanted and as a result not only did I drink some yummy coffee, eat mangoes off a tree on a highway but also watch the strange art of selling homes in an open market.
Everything was outstanding. The tour system they have set up met my needs and exceeded them. Considering that I have been on all of the tours before, I will say that they are just different than the other tour companies. Ahmed was young, very intelligent and loved sharing his knowledge and the history of his beloved country. He is very interactive with his clients and that makes it so much easier for his clients to understand what he is saying and made it easier for them to remember what he says. Thank you for making my trip go so smoothly! I will be using Wave Tours & Safari again!
My husband and I did a half day (3 or so hours) Stone Town Walking Tour with Mohammed which was absolutely fantastic. Mohammed was so unbelievably knowledgable about Zanzibar in general and had a great personality for what he's doing - very interesting historical facts and anecdotes laced with humour. Absolutely first class tour.
I can just describe this company with one word: PERFECT. Since the moment I decided to plan my vacation to Zanzibar I contacted Khamis via email and she gave me all the recommendations and planned my days. Khamis was responsable and always responded my questions in a timely manner. During my days in Zanzibar we had the most amazing time thanks to our tour guide, Ibrahim. He was always on time, he answered all our questions and explained everything with details. They exceeded all my expectations and we were very pleased. I will definitely recommend this company to anyone traveling to Zanzibar.
