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.

Prison Island Boat Trip
It is a relaxation excursion that takes half-day on the beautiful
island off the Zanzibar Town. The use of the island has changed
overtime.
Although it was originally built as a prison it was never put
into that function. Later it was used as a quarantine of slaves
for the whole of East Africa.
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.
The coral reefs surrounding the island provide an opportunity
of snorkeling. This is also a home of the giant tortoise, which
is now under strict conservation. |
