SAFARI
BLUE
This island boat tour
starts in the morning from any hotel, with a 30 minutes drive to the village of
Fumba. From here the local boats
(traditional Dhows, handcrafted from African Mahogany) will bring you to the
islands of Kwale and other beautiful islands and sandbanks in the Menai Bay conservation area, across
stunning turquoise waters!
There is a high chance that you see humpback or bottlenose dolphins!
The boat stops by at a sandbank,
where sunshades are set up, and you can explore the surrounding reef by
snorkeling. For the less confident swimmers there are inflatable safety
jackets, and the compagny of guides. Or you just relax on the sandbank, and
enjoy the solitude of being on a sandbank in the middle of the ocean...
After snorkeling fresh
drinking coconuts are offered, then you move to the desert island restaurant on Kwale Island, beneath the shade of
large tamarind trees. Taste the flavours
of Zanzibar, with fresh slipper lobster, all kind of grilled fish,
calamari, chicken tamarind and coconut sauces are served, and 10 - 15 different
tropical fruits. Cold drinks are available, including mineral water, sodas and
beer. After lunch coffee and Amarula are served.
From here you can sail with a 'ngalawa', a local outrigger boat, to explore the local fishing
traditions that are in use since centuries...
And you can visit the beautiful mangrove lagoon, and swim in a mangrove forest, if time permits.
