Embark on Zanzibar’s most talked-about sea adventure — Safari Blue, a full-day excursion through the breathtaking conservation area of Menai Bay, located in the south-west of Zanzibar Island. This unforgettable experience combines the magic of pristine sandbanks, crystal-clear lagoons, hidden islands, and the wonders of the Indian Ocean, all from the comfort of traditional, hand-crafted African mahogany dhows, built and maintained to the highest standards.

The journey begins from the quaint fishing village of Fumba, where guests receive a warm welcome and a short safety and itinerary briefing. From there, the adventure sets sail across the sparkling waters of Menai Bay, famed for its unspoiled marine environment and rich biodiversity. Among the highlights are two stunning, naturally formed sandbanks, their soft white sands rising dramatically from the turquoise ocean. The first stop offers the chance to snorkel over vibrant coral reefs teeming with colorful marine life, followed by time to swim, sunbathe, and savor fresh green coconuts and light snacks.

If the tide allows, the dhow then cruises to a second idyllic sandbank near Pungume Island for a sumptuous seafood lunch and a relaxing afternoon surrounded by nature’s untouched beauty. Guests consistently describe these sandbanks as some of the most beautiful, tranquil places on earth — a true slice of paradise.

Safari Blue is more than just an excursion; it’s an experience that captures the heart and soul of Zanzibar’s natural marine heritage.
