Safari Blue tour

Zanzibar’s most talked-about sea adventure comes to life through Safari Blue, a full-day excursion that explores the stunning Menai Bay Conservation Area in southwest Zanzibar. To begin with, the journey departs from the traditional fishing village of Fumba, setting the tone for an authentic coastal experience. From there, the tour glides across sandbanks, islands, and crystal-clear lagoons aboard comfortable, hand-built traditional dhows.

Before heading out, guests receive a clear briefing on the day’s program and onboard safety. Notably, the dhows feature African mahogany craftsmanship and meet the highest standards of finish and care. As the day unfolds, the tour stops at a pristine white-sand sandbank rising from the turquoise Indian Ocean. Here, guests snorkel above vibrant coral reefs, swim in warm waters, and unwind with fresh green coconuts and light snacks.

After snorkeling, and when tides allow, the adventure continues to a second sandbank near Pungume Island. At this point, guests enjoy lunch and relax through the afternoon in what many travelers describe as one of the most idyllic places on Earth.
