Safari Blue is a full-day boat trip on a traditional dhow in Menai Bay, on the south-west coast of Zanzibar. It combines snorkeling, a sandbank stop and a seafood lunch. It is a sea excursion, not a land safari.

Dolphins live in the waters around Zanzibar and some of our boat tours look for them, such as the Mnemba dolphin and snorkeling tour. Sightings depend on the animals' natural movements, so they cannot be guaranteed.

The drier months from June to October and from December to February are the most popular. The long rains usually fall from March to May and shorter rains often come in November.

Yes, many travellers combine a climb with time on the island. We offer a 6-day, 5-night climb on the Marangu route. Ask us about travel between Zanzibar and the Kilimanjaro region when you request a price.
