Quad biking through the villages

Dust, baobabs, sugar cane and fishing villages, on an automatic quad. Quad tours run for two and a half to four hours along farm tracks and village lanes, past baobabs, spice trees and sugar cane to a beach stop, with coconuts and fruit along the way. Afternoon rides on the north coast finish at sunset. Osseliche runs from Nungwi and Kendwa; Zanzibar Quad Adventure, which says it was the island's first in 2008, rides from Kiwengwa and Jambiani. The quads are automatic, so no off-road experience is needed. How to book: Operators include hotel pickup in their area: Osseliche (Nungwi and Kendwa) and Zanzibar Quad Adventure (Kiwengwa and Jambiani). Book a day or two ahead; private or small-group tours are calmer than a convoy.
