Activities


Sea safari.
Safari Blue is a full day trip exploring the very beautiful Conservation area of Menai Bay, south-west of Zanzibar Island.

It includes use of top quality snorkeling with guides , ice cold sodas, mineral water and beer, a delicious Zanzibari seafood lunch with grilled fish and slipper lobster, gastronomic fruit tasting, coffee and Amarula liqueur.
We round the day off by returning to Fumba by traditional lanteen sail.
 

Swim with dolphins.
Dolphins can be seen along the coast, and it is
a incredible experience.

Especially in Kizimkazi in the south/vest of Zanzibar.

You can swim close to the dolphins, they are very social animals, if you are lucky you even get to play with them.



Menai Bay
Menai Bay has been designated as a Conservation Area since 1998 due to its outstanding natural beauty.

The bay has a number of pristine sandbanks, naturally carved by the sea, wind and waves. The sandbanks and uninhabited islands that litter the bay are perfect stepping stones to explore the area.

Join the crew for a sail on an “ngalawa”- a local canoe with outriggers which has been carved from a single mango tree.
As Safari Blue comes to an end and we return by traditional lanteen sail, the full splendour of the African sunset reveals itself.

Deep sea fishing.
Pemba is recommended to experience deep sea fishing in the Indian Oceans.

The most challenging fish is blue and black marlin and swordfish, and several bigger shark. A real big experience for the adventurous people.

Diving
Zanzibar is reputed to have some of the best diving in the world, and the coral reef structures that surrounds Unguja and Pemba, ensure that the marine life is abundant.

Good visibility (60 - 200 feet) and a year-round average water temperature of 80 degrees ensure that you enjoy your Zanzibar diving experience.

The remnants of the built are still visible. The island offers a stunning view of the Town especially during the night; there is very beautiful minor sandy beach where swimming on the crystal waters is marvelous.
