Our Commitment to Responsible Tourism
At Besera Tours & Safaris, we are dedicated to practicing responsible tourism through our comprehensive approach, ensuring we positively impact social, environmental, and economic aspects of the communities we serve.
Social Responsibility: We believe in fostering respectful and meaningful interactions between our guests and the local communities. Our guides provide clear guidelines on the dos and don’ts to ensure that visitors engage respectfully with local cultures and traditions, promoting a harmonious and enriching experience for all.
Environmental Responsibility: Protecting Zanzibar’s natural environment is a priority for us. In line with our commitment to conservation, we do not offer traditional dolphin tours, which can disrupt marine life. By avoiding such practices, we contribute to the preservation of our precious marine ecosystems and ensure their health for future generations. We also collect and contribute plastic bottles to the local community where they are reused for various purposes, such as juice selling.
Economic Responsibility: Our excursions are designed to directly benefit local communities. Activities like the Ng'ambo Streets Walking Tour, Cooking Class, and Village Walking Tour are crafted to provide genuine cultural experiences while supporting local livelihoods. Additionally, our Tuk Tuk tours feature vehicles operated by disabled individuals, with Besera Tours contributing a small percentage of operational costs. The remaining income goes directly to the Tuk Tuk drivers, ensuring they receive fair compensation for their work.
With Besera Tours & Safaris, you can feel confident that your travel experience supports responsible practices across all facets of tourism. Join us in making a positive difference while enjoying exceptional and meaningful adventures in Zanzibar. Here are some of the organizations whose work we support.

By offering a nurturing environment, Juwasha helps these individuals overcome barriers and gain the education and support they need for a brighter future.
As part of our commitment to social responsibility, Besera Tours has partnered with Juwasha to assist in meeting their operational expenses. Through our various initiatives, including special excursions and community support activities, we contribute to Juwasha’s efforts to provide essential resources and educational opportunities for these deserving individuals.
By choosing to travel with Besera Tours, you are not only enjoying exceptional experiences but also supporting a meaningful cause.
