点评:We had a wonderful trip on the African Queen – it was our favourite day in Zanzibar. Pauline organised everything seamlessly, including transfers, and was always quick and easy to reach via WhatsApp.
The boat itself is beautiful – very spacious, comfortable, and perfect for a full day of relaxing on the water. We chose African Queen because of their respect for nature and the dolphins, and we were so glad we did. It was sad to see many speedboats crowding and chasing the dolphins, with people jumping in on top of them, which quickly scared them away. The African Queen crew, however, take a respectful approach — they never crowd the dolphins, allowing you to watch them calmly swimming nearby, it was a very special moment.
The food on board was absolutely outstanding – far better than anything we had at our hotel – and it’s incredible to think it was all cooked on a single stove on the boat. Lobster, calamari, chapatti bread, and much more!
One of the best parts was the crew! They were warm, friendly, and clearly very experienced sailors who care deeply about the sea. Their happiness was infectious ☺️
It’s a full day of fun and relaxation, excellent value for money, and it ends with a beautiful sunset on the water. Truly wonderful – we would not hesitate to recommend it.
Pauline also organised a day trip for us to Nakupenda Bis and a Spice Farm, which was another seamless and very enjoyable experience. We especially loved the Spice Farm, where we had a fascinating and insightful tour led by a wonderful guide.
翻译:我们在非洲女王号上度过了一段美好的旅程——那是我们在桑给巴尔最喜欢的一天。Pauline 把一切都安排得井井有条,包括接送服务,而且通过 WhatsApp 联系她总是快捷方便。
船本身很漂亮——非常宽敞、舒适,非常适合在水上放松一整天。我们选择非洲女王号是因为他们对自然和海豚的尊重,我们很高兴选择了它。看到许多快艇挤在一起追逐海豚,人们跳到海豚身上,很快就把海豚吓跑了,这让人感到难过。然而,非洲女王号的船员们非常尊重海豚——他们从不拥挤海豚,让你可以静静地看着它们在附近游动,这是一个非常特别的时刻。
船上的食物绝对一流——比我们在酒店吃到的任何食物都要好得多——想想这些食物都是在船上的一个炉子上烹制的,真是令人难以置信。龙虾、鱿鱼、印度薄饼等等!
最棒的是船员们!他们热情友好,显然是经验丰富的水手,对大海充满热爱。他们的快乐感染着人们☺️
这一整天都充满乐趣和放松,物超所值,最后以水面上美丽的日落结束。真是太棒了——我们毫不犹豫地推荐它。
Pauline 还为我们组织了前往 Nakupenda Bis 和香料农场的一日游,这又是一次无缝衔接、非常愉快的体验。我们尤其喜欢香料农场,在那里,一位优秀的导游带领我们进行了一次引人入胜且富有见地的游览。
