Safari Blue Tour Zanzibar
Safari Blue Tour Zanzibar.
The original Safari Blue tour is one of the most popular day trips from Stone Town, and other fewer location within Zanzibar, that is action packed and full of fun. The safari blue offers a full and fascinating day out experience including all transport to and from your hotel, snorkelling, beach life, sea food experience and drink etc. The safari blue tour also offers a far more nature-friendly way of possibly catching sight of some dolphins than the numerous ‘Swimming with Dolphins’ trips offered from Kizimkazi. You can as well have an opportunity to swim along the dolphin, as well as snokrelling. It’s an action packed tour, full of amusement and fun.
The Safari blue tour starts on the Fumba Peninsula, a twenty minute drive from Stone Town, also may depend with which accommodation you’re staying in or part of Zanzibar your lodge is located.
Upon arrival at the set-off point it takes a bit of time for the boats and gear to be prepped for travel, so expect some waiting around. It is advisable to wear shorts and water-shoes too as you may have to wade when boarding and disembarking your vessel and there are sea urchins and painful coral along the sea bed. But the slow start to the adventure shouldn’t mar the overall experience. Your local guide will brief your shortly, and short time, jump into your vessel and get going, to the new venture world.
You will sail on the blue waters of the Indian Ocean and the trip takes you to a sandbank, where you will get off the vessel, for some cool time here, and photo shots. Cold soft drinks and beers are served en route, with an option to buy more. From this bank you can snorkel. Guides set up a shade tent in which you can have a snack or a cool drink. The snorkelling is good and the location has a great ambience for the adventure.
On a lucky day, as we sail, you may encounter some dolphins along, rewarding us with a great experience.
After this the boat sets off to a second beach location for day lunch. Guides set up the extensive and fresh seafood BBQ while you relax on the beach and dine. Dinner is followed by a beach walk to a fallen Baobab tree that serves as a climbing frame.
Finally the boat sails round to a mangrove glade and there is final swimming among the trees before the day is done. You will later be transferred back to your hotel, with great day experience of the real original Zanzibar safari blue experience.
