Reviews & Testimonials
Hear from our Volunteers
Ghadi
We had a great time. Wonderful people, delicious food and comfortable accommodation. Thank you for this fantastic experience.
Zahra
My trip with Nomu Hub was definitely an experience of a lifetime. I’ve traveled several times but this is the first time I was able to see the country through the eyes of the locals and feel what struggles they’re going through on a daily basis. Through volunteering, I’ve immersed in the local culture and bonded with people there which made Zanzibar felt like home. This whole experience showed me exactly what I was meant to be doing in this world. And now I suppose it would be difficult to gain the same level of satisfaction from a traditional vacation after such a meaningful trip.
Anisa
I had amazing experience in safari and l got to see all big five animals so close . I had the chance to participate in animals preservation activities and even l adopted a baby elephant. Am very grateful for that .Also l got chance to meet the really Maasai people and know lots about their traditional culture. Ioved the food and full team were so cooperative and friendly Thank you for such quality time and beautiful places
Phill
The organising team were second to none. For me to travel to an unfamiliar country, stay at a hotel and meet with 20 strangers to help renovate a school in Nepal with no problems was an amazing job. On top of this, activities and dinners were all arranged and really couldn’t have been more engaging and enjoyable. A truly memorable and life-changing experience.
Alison Rosser
It was the toughest but most rewarding and defiantly the most fulfilling time traveling I have ever had.
Marwa
Before this trip, I had already engaged in various charitable activities, volunteer work, and visits within my own country. However, traveling to a new location and providing assistance to others impacted me in a unique way. This is because the past three years of my life have been consumed by a new lifestyle and the constant busyness and distractions of work. In all honesty, I wasn't particularly thrilled about traveling with a new group of people. Nevertheless, I express gratitude to God every day since my return. The experience of constructing classrooms for children and encountering individuals with genuinely pure hearts during our late-night strolls, conversations, and shared laughter made me realize how much I had been missing in life. It served as a powerful wake-up call for me.
Dalal

Lujain

Mawahib Abushal
My experience with NomuHub has renewed the feeling of joy in my life and reminded me of a quote by James Miller: “Nothing else in life is such a maker of joy and cheer as the privilege of doing good”
Fadel
Traveling with a mission to help other people and make an impact in their lives really made me feel satisfied that I am in this world to do something and have a purpose.

Accommodations
All the accommodations are in the heart of Stone Town, and are located within close proximity from each other. The furthest two points (Stone Town House and Park Hyatt hotel) are within 5 minutes walk from each other.
Our travelers will be accommodated in a twin room at Minara Miwili - Forodhani Park or a similar 3 star hotel.
We also offer 4 star and 5 star hotel upgrades with our accommodation partners, either in single room or twin-sharing basis. You may book these as add-ons in your booking process, but please note that confirmation of your reservation is subject to availability. During peak seasons in Zanzibar, it can be very difficult to secure a reservation so the earlier you book, the better.
Meals
There are many heterogeneous influences that are reflected in Zanzibar’s cuisine due to the multicultural nature that became a part of Zanzibar. The mixture of culinary traditions include Bantu, Arab, Portuguese, Indian, British and even Chinese cuisines.
The goal is to support education by enabling a suitable environment with the required facilities for schools. This trip will focus on supporting education through Construction, and will include building the foundation with cement, concrete and blocks, as well as drawing art on the walls.
