Family trip to Zanzibar
Travel planner service
Christina- Melanin Travels Magic- was fantastic, so glad I found her! I told Christina what I wanted to do and also asked for her advice. Christina put it all together effortlessly, with no hassle, and no stress, and then sent me my itinerary. Everything ran smoothly and with a child in tow, that's exactly what I needed! 🌝 The guides that Christina organized for me were also very good and on time. Thank you, Christina, you took the hassle out of travel! I will review it and definitely will book with you again. I have also recommended you to others👌🏾☀️
