Our Story
Born from a love of Zanzibar and a desire to share its magic with the world.
Welcome to Zanzibar Heavenly
Zanzibar Heavenly was founded with a simple belief: the best travel experiences come from genuine local knowledge combined with world-class hospitality. We are a boutique tour and accommodation company rooted in Stone Town, offering bespoke experiences that go far beyond the typical tourist trail.
The Founder's Story
Growing up in the narrow, winding streets of Stone Town, our founder developed a deep connection with Zanzibar's rich tapestry of cultures — Swahili, Arab, Indian, and European influences that make this island unlike anywhere else on earth. After years of sharing hidden gems with friends and family visiting the island, what began as a passion became a calling.
Zanzibar Heavenly was born from the desire to offer visitors an authentic, personal window into island life — not just the postcard-perfect beaches (though we have plenty of those), but the stories, flavours, rhythms, and warmth that make Zanzibar truly heavenly.
