Our About

Our story is written in the alleys of Stone Town and the dust of the Serengeti.

Sindbad Tours was founded in 2010 by a small team of Zanzibari guides who grew tired of seeing travelers herded onto cookie cutter tours. We named ourselves after Sindbad the legendary sailor of the Swahili coast because we believe every journey should be an adventure worth telling.

Today we run over 30 tours and safaris across Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania, but our mission hasn't changed: show people the real East Africa, treat them like family, and price everything honestly

Our Tesimonial

Smiles from travelers who became friends

Sarah &Tom Bennett

We did Safari Blue, Stone Town, and 4 days in the Serengeti through Sindbad. Mohammed our guide remembered every kid's name on day one. The booking process was seamless, the pricing was honest, and the experiences were unforgettable. Better than anything we could've found through a big reseller and at half the price.

Lena Müller

Sindbad organized our entire honeymoon — 4 days in the Serengeti, 5 days on Zanzibar's east coast. Every transfer handled, every detail thought through. We didn't lift a finger.

Marco & Giulia Rossi

The Spice Tour with Hassan was the highlight of our trip. We learned, we laughed, we ate the best biryani of our lives. This isn't a tourist version of Zanzibar — this is the real thing.

Michael Lewis

Personalized itinerary, local expertise, and seamless transfers between our safari and beach days. Sindbad delivered exactly what they promised. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Tanzania.
