OSSELICHE Quad Tours ZANZIBAR

Osseliche Zanzibar: quad routes and coastal excursions

Osseliche Zanzibar is an activity operator based, according to its own site, in the island’s north around Nungwi and Kendwa. Its public identity centres on quad routes, while the website catalogue also includes marine outings, island excursions and safaris on mainland Tanzania. Google Maps classifies the listing as an ATV rental service and links to both the official site and a bookable GetYourGuide activity; the company name, phone number and location match the operator’s published details. The offer combines driving, coastal stops and community visits.

The guided quad route is its signature activity. The published programme describes a ride of about four hours linking Jomba Beach, Kidoti village and Kendwa; the afternoon departure adds the possibility of seeing the sunset on the coast. The operator says it offers pickup in Nungwi, Kendwa and Jambiani, as well as a safety briefing, helmet, water and fruit during the experience. A shorter private option and quad rental are also listed. Duration and route vary by format, so travellers should confirm who drives, whether the price is per vehicle or person, and any age or licence requirements.

The scenery is more than a sequence of beaches. According to the catalogue, the stop in Kidoti is intended to introduce visitors to a local village setting, while Jomba and Kendwa provide the coastal portions. Public reviews describe routes over dirt roads and paved stretches, guides explaining community life, and interaction during stops. Some people mention dust, mud or changing weather; others value its fun character and the team’s friendliness. These are personal impressions, so visitors should confirm the planned route and dress for an outdoor activity.

Beyond quads, the current website lists beach and water activities: Mnemba snorkelling and dolphin trips, transparent kayaking, jet skis, jetcars, sunset sailing, horse riding in the sea and visits to caves with turtles. Its catalogue also includes combinations of Prison Island, Nakupenda sandbank and Stone Town, as well as spice-farm visits. A listing establishes that Osseliche offers or coordinates a booking, but does not always identify which vessel or partner operates it. For sports and sea excursions, confirm the actual provider, departure point, equipment, transport and cancellation arrangements.

The offer also reaches the mainland with one-day safaris to Mikumi and Selous/Nyerere, plus multi-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro programmes. The website says flights are included on some day trips and recommends advance booking; longer safaris are quoted on request. These outings require different planning from a quad ride: confirm baggage, flight times, park fees, meals, transfers and which parts of the itinerary are handled by a partner operator. The catalogue gives travellers a choice between a short activity near the coast and a multi-day journey, but each format needs its own price and logistics breakdown.

Google Maps reviews frequently mention the village, guides, fun and cultural elements. Recent accounts praise the team’s manner and describe a ride in rain and mud, meeting residents and tasting coconut or pineapple. Other reviewers appreciate transport coordination when a problem arose. On Tripadvisor, the exact “Osseliche Quadtour in Zanzibar” listing in Nungwi showed 4.9 out of 5 from 888 reviews when checked. These external signals show the operator’s visibility, while the precise conditions of each outing still need to be confirmed at booking.

For visitors staying in the north, Osseliche offers a land-based adventure with pickup advertised from several locations, alongside a catalogue of water activities and longer excursions. Its website lists daily service and phone and email contacts; the official social channels identified there include Instagram and TikTok. Before confirming, it is sensible to ask for the exact schedule, driving level, weather policy and included items. Travellers combining different operators or parts of the island should leave time between activities rather than relying on tight back-to-back transfers.
