Join a group of travelers on a Local Wooden Dhow to Safari Blue. The first spot we visit while on Safari Blue is a Sand Bank with crystal clear water and we actually stop here for about an hour to enjoy swimming, sunbathing as well as enjoying tropical fruits prepared by our staff team. We also do snorkeling just two meters away from the Sand bank at Menai Reserved Area where is a home of different kinds of fish and plenty of coral reefs. It is also expected to spot some Bottled Nose Dolphins in this area if we are lucky enough.

The second stop is at kwale Island where we normally do three main activities (Seafood Lunch, Visit to the Historical baobab tree and the Visit of Blue Lagoon) during these four hours that we stay here, one might have time to experience some traditional things like Zanzibar drum beating but also it is time for one to do shopping in local boutiques operated by local Swahili women of fumba village.
