Quad Zanzibar FAQ

Trail

During your 3,4/5 hour tour you will have three major stops, where you will be showed around rural life in Zanzibar and where you can take beautiful pictures. You will visit traditional Zanzibari villages and agriculture countryside, where all the fresh fruits and vegetables are produced. We have different trails that we take, sometimes you’ll pass through the forest, sometimes through baobab alleys, other times you will explore the caves. Beautiful landscape is guaranteed.

Quad driver needs to have a valid driving license. – You can ride on the quad alone or by two – check the option for booking.  Children above 5 years old are allowed to be passengers.

You should wear loose fitting comfortable clothing and trainers are the best type of shoe for this activity. You should also wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty especially if the weather is wet.

When riding
Always wear a helmet. Wear protective clothing and gear such as goggles, long sleeves, long pants, boots and gloves/hand protection.

Exercise caution on upward and downward slopes
One of the risky situations that you can experience at the handlebars of a quad is a steep slope. We advise you to keep the speed low so that the motor acts as a brake in these cases.

You may also have problems when going up a hill. So, you must accelerate so that the engine gives you the necessary force. It must be done progressively since if the thrust raises the vehicle excessively, the quad can fall on you.

Always maintain a controllable speed
Quads are not particularly agile vehicles, and they are not distinguished by their speed either. Weight and category (light quadricycles, quadricycles, and special vehicles) determine your quad’s maximum speed. However, you can exceed the limits established for your vehicle.

One of our professionals will explain the speed limits you must respect when riding these quadricycles

Be careful with the curves
As with motorcycles, the quads lean. However, they do it to the opposite side of the curve, to the point that they can rise and remain on two wheels.

Dumping a quad is not tricky, so do not take curves at excessive speed and in a sudden way. A smooth ride is the best to ensure your safety on a quad.
