Overview

Of all the extraordinary experiences available in Zanzibar, Safari Blue stands apart as the jewel of the archipelago — a full-day private dhow journey through the breathtaking southwest waters that cover more beauty per hour than almost any other tour on the island. Karibu Zanzibar's exclusive private Safari Blue tour visits four distinct island ecosystems in a single epic day, making it the definitive way to experience Zanzibar's southwest marine paradise.

This is not a group tour. This is your private dhow, your personal crew, your day — fully curated to deliver the best that southwest Zanzibar has ever offered

What's included

  • Unlimited soft drinks and chilled water
  • Abundant tropical fruit platters (mango, pineapple, passion fruit, coconut)
  • Snorkeling at multiple world-class reef sites
  • Experienced captain and professional crew
  • Private traditional dhow boat for the full day
  • Assorted light snacks throughout the day
  • Freshly prepared BBQ seafood lunch (lobster, prawns, catch of the day)
  • All island landing fees and marine park entry
  • All snorkeling equipment

What to expect

  1. Kwale
    3h
    Your journey begins at Kwale Island, a lush green gem surrounded by brilliant turquoise shallows. Kwale offers excellent snorkeling over rich coral gardens and provides a gentle, beautiful introduction to Safari Blue's marine wonders.
  2. 3h
    The legendary Pungume sandbank is one of Zanzibar's most photographed natural features — a pristine white sand strip rising from the deep blue ocean like a mirage. Walk its shores, swim its crystal waters, and understand why this remains the defining image of Zanzibar's natural beauty.
  3. 3h
    Miwi Island sits serenely in southwest waters, offering exceptional snorkeling, diverse marine life, and a tranquility that feels truly remote. Dolphins are frequently spotted in these waters, and the coral coverage is among the finest in the region.
  4. Niamembe Island
    3h
    Your final island stop delivers dramatic views and secluded swimming coves. Niamembe rounds out the Safari Blue journey perfectly — remote, pristine, and utterly Zanzibar.
