Overview
The Horse Riding, Swimming with Turtles & Nungwi or Kendwa Beach Tour brings together three relaxed coastal experiences into one well-paced day along Zanzibar’s northern tip. You’ll begin with a guided horseback ride on calm, well-trained horses, following the shoreline where the sand meets the tide. It’s a peaceful, scenic way to see the coast — suitable for complete beginners, with a handler beside you the whole way.
Next you visit a natural tidal lagoon near Nungwi, home to green sea turtles that glide through the shallow, clear water. Wade in, hand-feed them fresh seagrass, and swim gently alongside these calm, curious creatures — a hands-on encounter that delights children and adults alike.
The day winds down where Zanzibar shines brightest: on Nungwi or Kendwa beach. You’ll relax at one of these two neighbouring north-coast beaches — both known for their soft pale sand, all-day swimmable water, and postcard turquoise views. With time to eat, swim, and soak it in, this combo pairs gentle adventure with wildlife and beach in one hassle-free outing — all fees, transfers, and gear arranged so you can simply enjoy it.
Guiding travelers across Zanzibar with a passion for sharing the island’s beauty, culture, and hidden gems. Rama and his local team are committed to delivering authentic experiences, friendly service, and unforgettable adventures across Zanzibar.

A Stress-Free & Unforgettable Zanzibar Experience أكيد، هذه بصياغة مختلفة تمامًا بحيث ما تبين نفس تعليق صديقتج، لكنها توصل نفس الفكرة: Title A Stress-Free & Unforgettable Zanzibar Experience Review We booked all our Zanzibar tours with Rama Zanzibar Beach Tours & Safaris, and they made our 4-day trip smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. The team was always responsive on WhatsApp, confirmed our plans every day, and happily accommodated any changes we wanted to make. They also recommended activities that suited our interests, which made planning s o much easier. We experienced Salam Cave, the Spice Farm, snorkeling, horse riding, Nakupenda Sandbank, Stone Town, and a private Sunset Cruise. Most of our tours were private, with our own comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, and even our boat was exclusively for our group. As a group of Arab girls, we really appreciated the privacy and the sense of security throughout the trip. Everyone we met was friendly, respectful, and professional. We never felt rushed—they were always smiling and saying “Hakuna Matata!”, which perfectly matched the relaxed atmosphere of Zanzibar. The service was excellent, the prices were fair, and the overall organization was outstanding. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking fo r a safe, reliable, and well-organized tour company in Zanzibar.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Exceptional Service, Safe, Flexible & Truly Memorable! We spent four amazing days exploring Zanzibar with Rama Zanzibar Beach Tours & Safaris, and everything exceeded our expectations. Booking through WhatsApp was easy, communication was fast, and they confirmed our schedule every day. They were always flexible, helped us choose the best activities, and adjusted our plans whenever needed. We visited Salam Cave, Spice Farm, horse riding, snorkeling, Nakupenda Sandbank, Stone Town, and enjoyed a beautiful private Sunset Cruise. Most of our tours were private with our own air-conditioned vehicle, and even our boat was just for our group. As a group of girls traveling together, we really appreciated the privacy and the high level of safety. The drivers and guides were always punctual, respectful, patient, and never rushed us. We kept hearing “Hakuna Matata!” 😄, which perfectly reflected their friendly attitude. Excellent value for money and outstanding service. We highly recommend them to anyone visiting Zanzibar. We would definitely book with them again!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Amazing Rama Tours We had an amazing experience with Rama Tours! The entire team was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. They provided excellent service, gave us great local tips, and it was clear that they are very knowledgeable and truly passionate about what they do. After talking with them, we also decided to book their cooking class—and it turned out to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. Everything was well organized, authentic, and so much fun. We learned a lot while enjoying the warm hospitality. We highly recommend Rama Tours to anyone visiting Zanzibar. If you're looking for professional guides, genuine local experiences, and wonderful people, this is the place to book with. Thank you for making our trip so special!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()
