Fumba is the most convenient location for exploring the wildlife, isolated sandbanks and rugged island scenery of the Menai Bay Conservation Area. Our aim is to provide our customers with a truly memorable experience using the best Zanzibar has to offer, while making a positive difference to Zanzibar and it’s people. This trip starts from the village of Fumba in South West Zanzibar and we will take you to see the dolphins, sandbanks, islands and coral reefs of Menai Bay, a beautiful conservation area.
In the morning we set down on one of the beautiful sandbanks where one can relax, swim or snorkel. There are plenty of good quality snorkeling equipments and the experienced snorkeling guides will show you the pristine coral reef, which teems with tropical sea life. Instruction is also available for beginners, fresh coconuts and local snacks are available throughout the day.
After snorkeling we go to Kwale island where we have our “desert island” restaurant. The buffet lunch includes fish, slipper lobster, calamari, rice and sauces all served hot from the grill. The crews also prepare and present a gastronomic fruits tasting with a large selection of delicious tropical fruits, ice cold sodas and mineral water, a delicious Zanzibar seafood lunch with grilled fish and slipper lobster and coffee. When the tide permits we explore the natural lagoon found on Kwale island. The lagoon is surrounded by a mangrove forest and we will take you swimming in the lagoon for an unforgettable experience
The dhows are traditional sailing boats, hand-built from African mahogany and finished to the very highest standards. They are comfortable and well equipped with outboard engine, VHF marine radios, gas inflatable life jackets, sunshade, boarding ladder, waterproof bags and first aid kit. We hold marine and public liability insurance.
Safari Blue explores the Menai Bay Conservation Area, which is home to two different species of dolphins, the Indo-pacific humpback and the bottlenose. We are lucky enough to see dolphins on 85% of our excursions.
MenaiBay has been designated as a Conservation Area since 1998 due to its outstanding natural beauty. The bay has a number of pristine sandbanks, naturally carved by the sea, wind and waves. The sandbanks and uninhabited islands that litter the bay are perfect stepping stones to explore the area. Join the crew for a sail on an “ngalawa”- a local canoe with outriggers which has been carved from a single mango tree. As Safari Blue comes to an end and we return to Fumba by traditional lanteen sail, the full splendour of the African sunset reveals itself. After the tour, driver will transfer you to Amaan Bungalow

Tour Guide- Jabir Ali
I travelled in some parts of Africa when I was a student and it was the enjoyment of traveling in those few countries that encouraged me to share what I knew with my friends and family, After my studies from Uganda, my mother who is experienced retired tour operator assisted me to open Company for tourists from the scratch, I worked with her as a trainer, I started to get bookings and I found that I enjoyed planning their trips that started me as an independent, agent for my travel company. After my tour agent relocated, I became certified, bonded and licensed and started out on helping planning trips to Tanzania. Now as an independent tour agent, I focus my travel business on Zanzibar tours and Wildlife Safaris Tanzania mainland packages and I am very grateful to be part of the Africa Travellers Team.
