Salma Mgaza (1975) was born on Pemba, a small island belonging to the Zanzibar Archipelago. After studying Tourism she became one of the first female guides of Zanzibar. With her family she lives in Stone Town, the beautiful capital of Zanzibar. She has been working for more than 20 years for a travel agency that compiles and provides travel in East Africa. In addition, Salma does a lot of volunteering for an NGO that supports local communities, the Zanzibar Outreach Program (ZOP).

“I HAVE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL TRAVEL ROUTES THROUGH KENYA, TANZANIA AND ZANZIBAR TO ENJOY WILDLIFE, NATURE, CULTURE AND RELAXATION. WITH BUSARA TOURS I WANT TO OFFER EVERYONE THE BEST TRIPS FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. KARIBU! WELCOME!!”

Busara Tours trains also young local people to become Zanzibar tour guides. It is important for us to work with local people, to support local enterprises, to think sustainable and to save our planet.

As soon as I met her and found out she had her own tour company, I immediately cancelled… read more the other tour I had booked previously. Salma was so kind and informative on Zanzibar that I knew I wanted to take my tours with her. It was the best decision I made while in Zanzibar! 

She is so easy to work with, her rates are reasonable and her tour guides were some of the kindest people in Zanzibar. Being female and traveling alone, you want to make sure you are comfortable with your tour guides. Ali took me on a tour to Prison Island as well the Spice Tour and he could not have been any more respectful and fun. I had the most wonderful day with him, all planned by Salma. Even the boat captain and driver to the Spice tour were unbelievably kind and polite. 

Booking with Salma is a must if you are visiting Zanzibar. She loves her city, her tour are incredibly organized and she works with the best people. She truly made Zanzibar an extra memorable trip for me.

They met us as we left the airport and whisked us to our walking tour… read more of Stone Town. Ali was a great guide and gave us a good overview of this colonial town. 

Our driver confidently made his way to the hotel and all extra arrangements were easy due to Salma. 

Salma was attentive and communicated well to all of us as we had many moving parts. I was confident that she would get the job done and I would use Busara Tours again!
