ACTIVITIES ON ZANZIBAR

Diving/snorkelling:
The crystal clear tropical waters surrounding the island of Zanzibar are home to some of the world’s most diverse sea life and colourful reefs. At Mnemba Atoll marine park turtles are a common site and are used to seeing divers.

At least three pods of dolphins live in the area and are seen on almost all trips and the majestic whale sharks migrates past the island twice a year and are often seen from our diving pod of rare humpback dolphins have been sighted many times. These strange creatures number only twelve hundred in the world and we are lucky enough to have around forty in the area.

Deep-sea fishing:
The waters between Zanzibar and Pemba are home to excellent big game fishing and are famous world wide for the exciting opportunities they provide. Further South at Mafia Island and Latham Island there are fishing grounds which are almost untouched with only a few local fishermen there taking the fish. Striped, black and blue marlin can be found on the Zanzibar coastline, as well as acrobatic sailfish and elusive spearfish.

Dorado, yellow fin tuna, wahoo, barracuda, king fish all provide endless hours of action packed game fishing out on the ocean. From August to October is peak season for tuna, with marlin and sailfish running from November till March, following the pattern of the monsoons.

Fishing in Zanzibar is a delight, with the turquoise and deep blue of the ocean constrasting against perfect powder blue skies, waves lapping against the prow of the boat. Whatever time of year you visit, you’re sure to have a great day out, with a chance of landing a personal best and epic tales of the one that got away.
