Safari Blue Zanzibar Excursion

    Introduction

    The Safari Blue excursion is one of the most sought-after experiences in Zanzibar, offering a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural discovery. This full-day tour takes you on a breathtaking journey through Zanzibar’s turquoise waters, pristine sandbanks, and vibrant marine life, making it an essential addition to any traveler’s itinerary.

    A Day in Paradise: What to Expect

    1. Setting Sail from Fumba

    The journey begins in Fumba, a small fishing village located on the southwest coast of Zanzibar. This area is part of the Menai Bay Conservation Area, known for its rich marine biodiversity and stunning seascapes. From here, traditional dhow boats—handcrafted wooden vessels with billowing white sails—transport guests into the heart of the Indian Ocean.

    2. Snorkeling in Crystal-Clear Waters

    One of the highlights of the excursion is snorkeling in some of Zanzibar’s most beautiful coral reefs. Equipped with snorkeling gear, guests dive into warm, clear waters teeming with colorful fish, coral gardens, and marine creatures such as starfish, sea urchins, and sometimes even dolphins. The Menai Bay area is a known hotspot for bottlenose and humpback dolphins, and lucky visitors may spot them playing in the waves.

    3. Exploring Sandbanks and Swimming in the Lagoon

    As the journey continues, guests stop at sandbanks, which emerge and disappear with the tides, creating surreal, picture-perfect landscapes. Here, you can relax on the soft white sand, swim in the shallow waters, or simply soak in the beauty of the Indian Ocean. A visit to the stunning natural lagoon on Kwale Island is another highlight—this calm, warm-water pool is surrounded by mangroves, creating a peaceful, secluded oasis for a refreshing swim.

    4. A Swahili Feast on Kwale Island

    Lunch is served on Kwale Island, where a grand seafood barbecue awaits. The meal features freshly grilled fish, lobster, prawns, calamari, and octopus, complemented by fragrant rice, chapati (flatbread), and a selection of tropical fruits, including mango, pineapple, and passion fruit. Guests can also enjoy Zanzibar’s famous spiced tea or sip on local drinks while taking in the island’s serene beauty.

    5. Sailing Back with the Sunset

    As the day winds down, guests sail back toward Fumba, often catching a glimpse of Zanzibar’s mesmerizing sunset over the Indian Ocean. The dhow’s sails catch the evening breeze, making for a tranquil and memorable end to an extraordinary day.
