Zanzibar Group Trips
Private and small-group excursions run by a Stone Town local operator since 2014. Bring your family, friends, colleagues or club — the bigger your group, the less each person pays.
Blue Green Zanzibar Tours runs guided group tours across Zanzibar for families, groups of friends, corporate teams and large parties — as both private group tours (your own guide and vehicle) and shared small-group tours. As a locally-owned Stone Town operator active since 2014, we run every tour ourselves, with no subcontracting. Per-person prices fall as your group grows — for example, a Jozani Forest & Cave Swimming tour drops from $65 per person for 1–2 people to $45 per person for 15–27 people. Groups of any size, from 4 friends to 30+ colleagues, are booked directly via WhatsApp with a fast, custom quote.
- Group discounts Lower per-person price from 3+ people
- Any group size Small groups to 30+ travelers
- Private or shared Your own group, or join others
- All ages welcome Family, friends, corporate, faith & student groups
Private group tour or small-group tour?
There are two ways to explore Zanzibar as a group. Both are guided by born-and-raised Zanzibari guides — the difference is who you share the day with.
Private group tours
Your group travels alone with a dedicated guide and private vehicle or boat. The itinerary, pace and pickup times are built around you.
- Just your family, friends or team — nobody else
- Custom itinerary and flexible timing
- Ideal for families with kids, celebrations and corporate groups
- Best value once you are 4 or more people
Shared small-group tours
Join a small group of other travelers on a set excursion. It is the most affordable way to see Zanzibar's highlights and meet fellow visitors.
- Lower per-person cost for solo travelers and couples
- Fixed, popular itineraries (Safari Blue, Jozani, Stone Town)
- Small, friendly group sizes with a local guide
- Great for meeting people on a solo or budget trip

Whatever brings your group to Zanzibar, we build the right day around it — and price it per person so everyone knows exactly what they pay.

|---|---|---|

Posted on Tripadvisor Zdenka DJune 11, 2026Verified Blue Green Zanzibar Tours and Safari Our experience with Blue Green Zanzibar Tours and Safari was excellent! We took 6 trips together. All of them went very smoothly. Communication with the guide Wadi was very friendly and fast. Wadi and the entire team who took care of us during trips were very nice and helpful. They willingly met our requests and wishes. Prices and calculations for the trips were transparent and final. Reliability, punctuality and care! We definitely recommend Blue and Green Zanzi.Posted on Tripadvisor Renata RJanuary 29, 2026Verified Amazing tour – highly recommended! The tour was excellent. Our guide, Nassor, picked us up directly at the ferry terminal and stayed with us from start to finish. He shared many interesting stories and demonstrated great knowledge throughout the entire tour. We first took a boat to Prison Island (the turtle island), then visited the sandbank, where a wonderful seafood lunch was prepared for us. After that, we returned to the city for the historical tour. The team also helped us with purchasing the ferry tickets, which was extremely helpful and made everything much easier. I highly recommend this tour!Posted on Tripadvisor Sahil MJanuary 8, 2026Verified A Dream Realized In Zanzibar My Family's Unforgettable Week in Zanzibar with Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari Like many, my first glimpse of Zanzibar was through the captivating videos on TikTok. The turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and vibrant culture sparked a dream within me, a dream I finally realized this past November with my family. As an Irish native, planning a trip to such a distant and exotic locale felt daunting, especially when initial attempts to connect with various tourist companies proved fruitless. Misinformation was rampant, and responses were slow or nonexistent, leaving me feeling frustrated and uncertain. That's when I stumbled upon Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari. From the moment I reached out, I experienced a level of responsiveness and care that was truly exceptional.

A friendly driver greeted us and transported us to our hotel, setting the tone for a week of seamless travel. Each day, our dedicated driver arrived promptly, ready to whisk us away to new and exciting experiences. We explored spice plantations, swam with dolphins, wandered through the historic streets of Stone Town, and relaxed on the beaches. all without a single worry or logistical hiccup. What truly set Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari apart was their commitment to comfort, relaxation, and attention to detail. Every aspect of our trip was carefully considered, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience for the entire family.

Die deutschsprachige Guide war klasse. Es war ein echtes Erlebnis, auch für meine Frau, die nur schlecht Englisch versteht. Das Mittagessen und der Nachtisch mit frischen Früchten war sehr schmackhaft. Die deutschsprachige Tour durch Stone Town war ebenfalls gut, aber insgesamt nicht so toll wie die Spice Farm.Posted on Tripadvisor DTDOctober 28, 2025Verified Outstanding experience with Blue Green Safari Zanzibar! We had an amazing experience with Blue Green Safari. From start to finish, the team was highly professional, punctual, and incredibly accommodating. We were traveling with two toddlers, and they went out of their way to make everything smooth and comfortable for us — adjusting plans when needed and always being patient and kind. What really stood out was their genuine care and flexibility. They didn’t just treat us like clients; they truly cared about our experience. They even helped us arrange donations for a local school and village, which meant a lot to us and made the trip feel even more meaningful.

Zanzibar group tours: frequently asked questions
Do you offer group discounts for Zanzibar tours?
Yes. Every tour is priced per person, and the per-person rate drops as your group grows. For example, our Jozani Forest & Cave Swimming tour is $65 per person for 1–2 people, $55 for 3–6, $50 for 7–14, and $45 for 15–27 people. The exact rates vary by tour, but the principle is the same across all of them: the larger your group, the less each person pays.
What is the minimum group size for a discount?
Group discounts typically begin at 3 or more people, with further price drops at 7+ and 15+. There is no strict minimum to book a private tour — even a couple or a family of four can have their own guide and vehicle — but the best per-person value kicks in once you are around four or more travelers.
Can you arrange a tour for a large group of 15, 20 or 30+ people?
Absolutely. We regularly handle large groups using multiple vehicles or boats, synchronised pickups and a lead coordinator so everyone stays together. For groups of 28 or more, message us on WhatsApp with your numbers and dates and we will send a tailored quote with our best per-person rates.
What's the difference between a private and a shared group tour?
A private group tour is just your party — your own guide, your own vehicle or boat, and an itinerary and pace built around you. A shared small-group tour joins you with other travelers on a set excursion, which lowers the cost per person and is a great way to meet people. Both are led by local Zanzibari guides.
Are group tours suitable for families with children?
Yes. Many of our tours are ideal for families — Jozani Forest's red colobus monkeys, gentle snorkeling and turtle swims, and relaxed beach time all work well for children. As a private family group you control the pace and timing, and we adapt the day to suit younger travelers.
Can you build a custom itinerary for our group?
Yes. Tell us your group's interests, ages, travel dates and budget, and we design a custom itinerary from our 30+ tours and multi-day packages. Nothing is cookie-cutter — the plan is built around what your group actually wants to do.
How do we book and pay for a group tour?
Booking is done directly via WhatsApp, email or our inquiry form — no call centre and no middleman. We confirm quickly and accept credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), bank transfers and cash. You can book from anywhere in the world before you arrive in Zanzibar.
Is hotel pickup included for groups?
Hotel pickup and drop-off is available for a small additional fee that depends on your hotel's distance from the tour. Because prices are per person and transfers vary by location, we include the transfer cost in your custom group quote so there are no surprises.
