I’m an entrepreneur, husband, and proud father of six wonderful children. I enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures, and spending time with family. In my free time, I love listening to music, playing the piano, and continuously learning new things. Welcoming guests and sharing the beauty of Zanzibar is something I truly value, and I look forward to making your stay at Princess Salme Inn both comfortable and memorable.
