We are more than a tour company — we are storytellers, islanders, and guardians of authentic Zanzibar experiences.
Chaby Tours was founded in 2019 with one simple belief: the best guide is someone who truly loves their home. Our founder, Chaby, grew up exploring every corner of Zanzibar — from the winding alleyways of Stone Town to the quiet shores of Nungwi — and wanted to share that love with the world.
What started as word-of-mouth recommendations from a handful of happy travelers has grown into a trusted, five-star rated experience that has welcomed hundreds of visitors from across the globe. Every tour we run carries the warmth, honesty, and insider knowledge that only a true local can offer.
Every itinerary is crafted with genuine love for Zanzibar and the well-being of every guest.
We work with local boat captains, chefs, and artisans — keeping your money in the community.
We actively protect Zanzibar's marine life and environments through responsible tourism practices.

"Absolutely the best tour we did in Zanzibar! Chaby was so knowledgeable and funny — he made the whole day feel like we were with a friend, not a tourist guide. The sandbank was breathtaking."
"We swam with wild dolphins, snorkeled at Mnemba, visited a turtle sanctuary — all in one day! Ali was incredibly professional and made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. 10/10."
"The spice farm tour with Fatuma was a highlight of our entire trip to Africa. She was warm, witty, and incredibly passionate about Zanzibar's culture. The food at the end was incredible!"
