The word Safina is the Swahili word for dhow. The wooden dhows have been used for a long time in the coastal waters of East Africa to trade all over the world particularly when Zanzibar was the commercial centre of East, Central and some parts of sub- Saharan Africa. Safina Tours and Safaris Limited was created solely to cater for the broad interests of disserving clients, today, tomorrow and beyond. Safina came to fill in the gap for a competent multilingual destination management company (DMC) in Zanzibar. Safina is a 100% Zanzibari owned company with more than 20 years of experience in tourism sector.

Our knowledge in tourism industry, has increased our performance. We are one of the very few Zanzibari based company believing in sustainable tourism. Socially, it is our policy to employ the people from the surrounding community and involve them in decision making. Economically, we are financially viable as we have been able to sustain for a number of years. Also, all our operations are environmental friendly. We change our vehicles every after two years by replacing old vehicles with new ones. All our vehicles are air-conditioned with first aid kit and fire extinguishers.
