SHORT EXCURSIONS IN ZANZIBAR SAFARI

ZANZIBAR DHOW EXPERIENCE
A cruise on a traditional wooden dhow is unforgettable, and an essential part of your Zanzibar
holiday experience. Glide silently across the Indian Ocean to the sound of clean white sails
being beaten by the wind. Cruise around the several surrounding islands, and jump overboard to
explore a few. Enjoy lunch on the dhow, and experience a Zanzibar sunset while out at sea. And
if part of you needs a little reassurance, most of the dhows have inboard or outboard motors, just
in case the wind decides to leave you at the mercy of a stilled Indian Ocean.

DOLPHINS IN ZANZIBAR
There are a few pods of dolphin that have their respective territories around Zanzibar and that
can be spotted close to shore. With a little luck, you might even spot them off the coast of
Stone Town. The most popular dolphin spotting location in Zanzibar though, is undoubtedly
Kizimkazi, where you could see both bottlenose and humpback dolphins. The north-east of
Mnemba Island is another decent dolphin-watching spot, and either of these could afford you the
incredible sight of hundreds of spinner dolphins putting on one of their famous acrobatic displays
in which they launch into the air and spin around.

THE DOLPHINS OF KIZIMKAZI
The village of Kizimkazi is located in the far south of Zanzibar Island. The shallow coastal
waters around Kizimkazi are a favorite hangout for dolphins who come here for the reliable
food supply, to nurse their calves, rest and socialize. Several bottlenose pods (of up to 150
individuals) stay at Kizimkazi all year-round. There are about 50, rather more shy humpback
dolphins that put in an appearance here, although their schedule is a little more erratic. Although
dolphin-spotting is a popular activity, sightings aren't guaranteed and actually managing to swim
with dolphins is a rare occurrence. Dolphin trips last two to three hours and the best time of year
to see these extraordinary mammals is between October and February.
