One of the best experiences from my 9 days in Zanzibar. The booking and communication was fast, professional, and the staff was friendly, kind and helpful. Anytime I had a question or concern (and I'm a natural worrier, so I had a lot) they were very fast to reply via whatsapp and always helped me out). They offer saddle bags, cell phone holders, etc., and a good selection of motorbikes that appear in great running order. There was one hiccup, which was that I had the motorbike delivered to my hotel, and one of the helmets had a broken strap/buckle so would not close properly. This was resolved quickly and simply by having the driver go back for a replacement. It also would never have been a problem if I had collected the motorbike at their offices (which are immediately next to the airport - a 2 minute walk from the terminal). So double check the gear and the motorbike - but the way this issue was resolved means that it did not negatively effect my experience. This is the best way to explore Zanzibar. You have freedom while also being completely immersed in the life and pulse of the island in a way no other mode of transport can provide. The bustle of Zanzibar city is wild, but traffic is pretty slow and there are a number of scooters and motorbikes on the road so it feels quite safe. Outside of the city, the main roads are generally good, wide, and not too busy. My only regret is not having the motorbike for longer!
