Description

Begin your experience early, as the morning is the best time to spot dolphins. Start in Mnemba Island, one of the oldest capitals on Zanzibar Island. While looking out for dolphins, dive in to snorkel among the wonderful coral reef and the variety of colorful fish and marine creatures. If the dolphins are in a good mood, you can witness them goofing around. As you will be in their natural habitat, there is no guarantee you'll have the chance to swim with the dolphins; your guide will do their best to ensure they are comfortable so you can enjoy their beautiful energy, whether up close or from a distance. Next, head to Jozani Forest National Park. Visit the high, dense groundwater forest, home to the red colobus monkey, a rare species only found in Zanzibar. Take the opportunity to get up close to the wild animals. Other animals within the park include blue monkeys, elephant shrews, and bushbabies. Proceed to the mangrove, through which the conservation authority has built a bridge to allow visitors to observe the wildlife without trampling on it. Finally, swim with sea turtles and learn about conservation efforts. Learn about sea turtle conservation and rehabilitation programs, and observe the turtles up close. Immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters, where graceful turtles glide effortlessly around you.
