“Experience Real Zanzibar Through Its People, Culture & Traditions”
Discover the Heartbeat of the Island with Memorable Tours and Safaris. Step off the beaten path and into the welcoming community of Muyuni, a traditional Swahili village on Zanzibar’s southeast coast. The Muyuni Village Tour offers an immersive experience where guests can connect with local life, learn about Swahili customs, and support sustainable tourism - all while gaining a deeper understanding of what makes Zanzibar so special.
This is not just a tour - it’s a cultural exchange, and one of the most authentic ways to experience the island.

What to Expect on the Muyuni Village Tour
Guided Village Walk
Stroll through mud-brick homes, coconut groves, and fishing lanes with a friendly local guide. You'll get to see how villagers live, work, and celebrate - all while hearing stories about Zanzibar's traditions, customs, and community values.

Local Handicrafts & Daily Life
Visit a local woman's group or artisan collective to see how baskets, mats, and natural beauty products are made by hand using age-old techniques. You may also see locals weaving, grinding spices, or making coconut oil.

Swahili Cuisine Tasting
Enjoy a warm welcome with traditional snacks or a home-cooked meal, often including spiced rice, cassava, coconut curry, and seasonal fruits. This is a perfect opportunity to ask questions and connect with your hosts.

Visit to the Local School or Mosque (optional)
For those interested, we can arrange respectful visits to Muyuni Primary School or the local mosque to learn about education and faith in the village.
