Day 01

Arrival in Zanzibar and Stone Town Exploration

  • Transfer from Zanzibar Airport to Stone Town, a scenic drive of approximately 45 minutes that gives you your first feel of this enchanting island.

  • After check-in, enjoy a fabulous seafood lunch before spending the afternoon soaking up the sun and adjusting to the relaxed pace of life on the coast.

Day 02

Snorkelling Among Zanzibar's Coral Reefs

  • Go snorkelling in Zanzibar. Unlike many other popular snorkelling destinations worldwide, it is still possible to find places along the coast that have never been explored. The many varieties of coral provide a home to thousands of colourful and exotic creatures, including blue ribbon tail rays, firefish, and, for "Finding Nemo" fans, clownfish.

Dinner and overnight stay at Amani Bungalow on a half-board basis.

Know before you go

  • The original Safari Blue tour (make sure you are booking the right thing!) is one of the most popular day trips from Fumba Village, as well as from a few other locations. Though not cheap, it offers a full and fascinating day, including all transport, snorkelling, food, drink, and more. It also provides a far more nature-friendly way of possibly catching sight of dolphins than the numerous 'Swimming with Dolphins' trips offered from Kizimkazi.
