Unforgettable Snorkeling Trip with Guide Gefrida! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing day with our guide Gefrida! She's incredibly enthusiastic, speaks excellent English, and made us feel welcome from the very start. The snorkeling trip took us to a beautiful, quiet island — the perfect place to unwind. There was a lovely shaded area where we could sit and relax, and we even went on a small hike through the forest to reach another hidden beach. Tip: bring proper shoes if you want to join the walk — it's short but a bit rocky. Gefrida came well prepared with plenty of bottled water for everyone, and after snorkeling, she treated us to fresh pineapple slices — so refreshing! For lunch, we enjoyed freshly grilled fish with fries, right on the beach. Delicious! It was such a relaxed, peaceful day. We came back completely recharged. Highly recommended if you're looking for a mix of adventure and pure chill time.

Derick gave me a tour through Dar es Salaam, and it was a real immersion into the city. He shared a lot about the history of the city and the country, showed interesting places, and gave me an authentic perspective of Dar es Salaam. I can highly recommend his city tour. I also felt safe walking through the city with him. :)
