Safari Blue is one of Zanzibar's most popular day trips, a relaxed sailing adventure in the Menai Bay Conservation Area on the island's south-west coast. The day combines traditional dhow sailing, snorkelling, white sandbanks and a fresh seafood feast.
From Fumba village, the dhow sails to a coral reef for snorkelling, then on to a sandbank that appears at low tide. Lunch is served on Kwale Island, where guests also see a giant baobab tree and swim in a calm mangrove lagoon. With luck, dolphins may be seen on the way.
Watoto Wa Bingwa planning note: "Safari Blue" is the brand of a specific operator. Confirm whether we resell their excursion or run our own Menai Bay dhow tour; if it is our own, title the page "Menai Bay Dhow Tour (Safari Blue Style)" so we use the keyword without claiming their brand
