Born from a Love of Zanzibar
It started in 2020 when Zeyana Thabit Juma — a passionate young entrepreneur from Mwanakwerekwe, Zanzibar — decided that the island's incredible tourism story needed a modern digital home. Not just a booking page, but a living showcase of everything that makes Zanzibar extraordinary.
Growing up surrounded by turquoise waters, ancient Stone Town history, and spice farms just a short trip away, Zeyana built Zebra Costa to bridge the gap between Zanzibar's beauty and travelers seeking authentic experiences.
Today, we are building Zanzibar's most trusted digital tourism platform — connecting verified local guides, hotels, and restaurants with travelers from around the world.
