Our Story

Three generations on one small island

Karibu Zanzibar Holidays was founded by islanders who grew tired of seeing their home reduced to a checklist of identical packages.

Founded 2014

Your trusted travel company in Zanzibar

Karibu Zanzibar specialises in car hire — chauffeur-driven and self-drive — across the island, alongside a full range of tourism services: excursions, transfers, hotel reservations, and air ticketing for both domestic and international travel. We look after individuals, groups, diplomatic missions, NGOs and expatriates alike.

Our fleet runs from compact sedans and SUVs to 4x4 off-road vehicles and 25-, 29- and 33-seater minibuses — all clean, reliable, and offered at fair, affordable rates. Hospitality comes first, and we take pride in a long-standing reputation for excellent, trouble-free travel services across Zanzibar, Tanzania and beyond.

“To share Zanzibar as we know it — unhurried, generous, and deeply itself — and to make sure the island benefits from every guest we welcome.”
