Know before you go

• Situated on the southern point of the island, Kizimkazi fishing village is home to several schools of bottlenose and humpback dolphins.
• Following a short boat trip from the village, you may be able to swim close to the dolphins, providing a rewarding experience.
• This trip is made in the afternoon to avoid crowds of tourists that disturb the dolphins.
• Kizimkazi also has a 12th-century mosque, the earliest evidence of Islam in East Africa, making it worth a visit for cultural and natural reasons.
• Sometimes, we may spend longer searching for dolphins as they move from one place to another.
