Safari Blue

Tour Overview

Safari Blue is widely considered the best boat excursion in Zanzibar, offering a full day of adventure in the Menai Bay Conservation Area. You will set sail on a traditional, hand-crafted dhow to explore one of the most beautiful marine parks in the world. The day is packed with activities: you will stop at various sandbanks for swimming and sunbathing, snorkel over pristine coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, and explore hidden mangrove lagoons. One of the highlights is a visit to a 200-year-old baobab tree on a remote island. During the journey, keep a keen eye out for the dolphins that are frequently spotted in the bay. For lunch, you will be treated to a legendary Swahili seafood feast on a deserted island, featuring grilled fish, calamari, lobster, and a wide array of tropical fruits. The return journey is often done under sail as the wind picks up in the afternoon, allowing you to experience the traditional way of navigating the Indian Ocean. Safari Blue is more than just a boat trip; it is a comprehensive celebration of the ocean, the sun, and the spirit of Zanzibar.
