Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir un super guide, qui parlait français. En plus d’être très drôle, il nous a fait visiter la ville en long en large et en travers ! Nous avons pu voir des monuments historiques, d’autres très jolis et typiques d’ici. Nous avons ensuite partagé un déjeuner dans un petit restaurant sympa.

Super visite avec un excellent guide, Salum. La visite est trés intéressante; Salum nous a amené dans tous les endroits clefs de Zanzibar et a été trés disponible et trés clair et intéressant dans ses commentaires. Il a une trés bonne connaissance de l histoire de sa ville et de son pays. Nous recommandons chaudement cette visite et ce guide, Salum qui est en outre trés sympathique et souriant.
