6-Day Zanzibar Relaxing Beach Vacation

The original Safari Blue tour (make sure you are booking the right thing!) is one of the most popular day trips from Fumba village (and a fair few other locations as well). Though not cheap it offers a full and fascinating day including all transport, snorkelling, food, and drink, etc. It 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.

With visits to the House of Wonders, the Palace Museum (People’s Palace), and the Arab Fort amongst others, it is a fascinating look at the essence of Zanzibar.

DAY 2: SNORKELING IN ZANZIBAR.
Snorkelling in Zanzibar is an experience of a lifetime. Unlike many other popular snorkelling destinations around the world, it is still possible to find places that have never been explored along the coast. The many varieties of coral provide a home to thousands of colourful and exotic creatures, including blue ribbon tail rays, firefish, and for the “Finding Nemo” fans, clownfish.
