About Amani
Amani was born in the Hurumzi quarter and spent his boyhood running errands through Stone Town's alleys before training as a heritage-site guide at the House of Wonders. He founded a small walking-tour cooperative with two other guides in 2019 and still leads the early-morning routes himself, before the cruise crowds arrive.

Amani took us through doors I'd have walked straight past. The story about the Sultan's clock tower alone was worth the trip.

Relaxed pace, genuinely funny, and he timed the market visit so we avoided the worst of the heat.

Excellent knowledge of the old town. Would have liked a bit more time at the Palace Museum but that was our call, not his.
