Tours ~ Packages and
recommended itineraries
As well as booking and organising individual tours, we can put a tailor-made package together that really gives a flavour and experience of Zanzibar ~ from airport meet and greet, transfer hotel reservations, we take care of everything. This can be a combination of any stone town hotels (of clients choice) for the few nights including tours (of clients choice) over the duration of stay.
After the stone town stay the client proceeds to any beach hotel (of their choice).
Alternatively, upon arrival the client can head straight to the beach hotels (of their choice) and have their stone town day on their remaining last days plus the excursions.
• City Tour, Prison Island, Spice Tour and Chumbe Island [DETAILS] EXPTR01
• City Tour, Jozani Forest and Dolphin Tour [DETAILS] EXPTR02
• City Tour, Spice Tour and Nungwi Tour [DETAILS] EXPTR03
• City Tour, Jozani Forest and Safari Blue Tour [DETAILS] EXPTR04
The above are just a sample of the many tours we offer. Our tour packages are flexible and can be tailored made to suit your taste. There are various options that can be combined; extension of stone town hotels stay, the use of different hotels at the beach and multiple combinations of other tours. Diving and fishing can be done upon request.
Under no circumstances accept tours or transport from unlicensed ‘beach boys’– their services are illegal and unreliable. In recent months there has been an alarming increase in the number of robberies by unlicensed tour operators. |

Safari Blue brings you close to the most interesting and beautiful natural wonders of a tropical Indian Ocean Bay.
Our driver will bring you to Fumba in the South of Zanzibar. From there you will sail with a traditional wooden dhow to the Kwale coral reef, offering an overwhelming abundance of corals and colourful fish. A snorkelling guide will show and explain interesting marine species and will also teach beginners how to snorkel.
Then you can relax with a fruity snack on a paradise-like sandbank surrounded by turquoise blue waters. At that area pods of humpback and bottlenose dolphins are commonly seen hunting fish and squid at the surface of the water.
The dhow will then bring you to an island where a seafood buffet is served comprising of grilled calamari, two types of grilled fish, slipper lobster and chicken. Chilled soft drinks and cold beer are included throughout the trip. After the lunch a tropical fruit tasting will be presented with the chance to savour between 10-15 species of tropical fruits. A shot of African Amarula liqueur in coffee will finish this gastronomical sensation.
On a short walk into the island’s tropical forest you can find a 500-year-old baobab tree that 70 years ago was bowled down by a storm. Now the former branches continue to grow like trees themselves on top of the huge laid-down former trunk. Short sailing trips on a Ngalawa - a traditional outrigger canoe, carved of a single mango tree - and a swim in a mangrove lagoon are other activities offered at the island.
You can enjoy the sunset with a sundowner drink on the way back by sail to Fumba.
