ABOUT MY ZANZIBAR

From History to Horizon:

Discover Luxury on My Zanzibar Rainbow Dhows

Our Story Starts on the Sea

Zanzibar is a land of stories—where centuries of trade, spice routes, and cultural exchange meet turquoise waters and golden sunsets. At the heart of this heritage is the dhow, a traditional sailboat that has been the island’s lifeline for trade and exploration for generations.

Expertise Meets Local Insight

Led by Kahina, whose decade-long European tourism experience guarantees impeccable service, and guided by local partners Ahmad and Abdallah, we merge world-class professionalism with authentic island knowledge.

Luxury, Colour & Commitment

Each of our dhows is unique, with its own special atmosphere and almost a personality of its own. What unites them is the same colorful, welcoming, and joyful spirit that reflects the essence of Zanzibar which earned them the nickname of…RAINBOW DHOWS!

More than a tour

A luxurious journey at sea—rich in history, alive with Zanzibar’s heritage, and unforgettable in every detail. We’re passionate, curious, and love to share. From comfort and beauty to bold flavors and vibrant colors, everything we create reflects quality, authenticity, and a deep commitment to responsible tourism.

A big thank you to Kahina and all her team! She was able to listen to our desires and met all our expectations. The organized activities were varied, and of superb quality. Special mention for Kahina, her availability and follow-up: to every question or need, we got a quick and effective answer. This attention to detail really made a difference and helped make our trip unforgettable. I recommend this agency with my eyes closed to all those looking for a tailored experience, quality services and a professional and committed team. Many thanks for these wonderful memories!

We had a great experience with My Zanzibar, even contacting them last minute! They quickly arranged a fantastic private tour combining a Spice Farm visit and Stone Town. A real plus: no prepayment was requested, which instantly builds confidence." "Our guide, Amad, and driver, Sulesh, were very professional and friendly. The Spice Farm was particularly interesting, and the traditional lunch was delicious! In summary, a superb day, rich in discoveries and flavors, that I highly recommend My Zanzibar!

Everything was amazing, from start to finish. Kahina runs a very professional show; her team is friendly and welcoming. The food was incredible—there was plenty! I've done many dhow tours in Zanzibar, but I can say with 100% confidence that My Zanzibar offers the best service, and their prices are very fair. I will definitely be back!

We spent an incredible day on the traditional Dhow, decorated and furnished with colorful cushions for more comfort... Just exceptional! A day in Pungume with delicious lunch cooked on the boat and enjoyed in the middle of the sandbanks, swimming in crystal clear waters, and back through the mangroves... An idyllic day thanks to Kahina and our team on the boat. Asante Sana 🙏 We will come back!
