Who I am

My name is Frank and I am the founder of Zanzibar Roots Tours & Safari. I was born and raised in Zanzibar and have more than 9 years of experience as a professional tour guide, sharing the nature, culture, history and hidden corners of my island with travellers from around the world.

For the past five years I have also lived in Poland, where our family home is. I know European standards of customer service well, which helps me understand what our guests expect and respond to their needs.

Zanzibar is not just a place where I work. It is my home and my roots. That is why I want every guest to experience the island the way local people know it: personally and at an easy pace.

Your Zanzibar. Our Roots. Your Adventure.
