Zanzibar
Dhow Experience
A
cruise on a traditional wooden dhow is unforgettable,
and an essential part of your Zanzibar holiday experience.
Glide silently across the Indian Ocean to the sound
of clean white sails being beaten by the wind. Cruise
around the several surrounding islands, and jump overboard
to explore a few. Enjoy lunch on the dhow, and experience
a Zanzibar sunset while out at sea. And if part of
you needs a little reassurance, most of the dhows
have inboard or outboard motors, just in case the
wind decides to leave you at the mercy of a stilled
Indian Ocean.
Summary
Itinerary
Your adventure starts from Stone Town hotel we you
are picked and transferred to Fumba village, south
west of Stone Town. Fumba is the most convenient location
for exploring the wildlife, isolated sandbanks and
rugged island scenery of the Menai Bay Conservation
Area. African Spice Safaris Zanzibar Dhow cruise is
not just a day out on a traditional sailing dhow with
good food. You need to come prepared to get your feet
wet, enjoy new experiences, make new friends and most
importantly, have the most memorable day of your life.
Keep
a lookout for both humpback and bottlenose
dolphins, as you explore the Menai bay. We
practice a policy of responsible dolphin watching
and are lucky enough to see dolphins on 90% of our
excursions. Explore the mangrove lagoon hidden inside
Kwale island. A swim through the protected mangrove
forest at high tide is an unforgettable experience.

water. Menai bay has several naturally occurring sandbanks
with safe swimming and from where you can enjoy great
snorkeling. Lunch includes Seafood. Taste the flavors
of Zanzibar at our desert island restaurant on Kwale
island. Seafood barbecue includes fish, calamari and
slipper lobster served hot from the grill. Then enjoy
a tropical fruit tasting – a gastronomic delight!
“Chakula Chema”!
In the afternoon you have the exceptional chance to

outrigger canoe, made by hand from a single mango
tree. The journey back will be by sail, wind permitting.
