Safari Blue: Day of Aquatic Activities

Make your way long paradise from the picturesque fishing village of Fumba on a locally made traditional sailing dhow. As you glide along the sparkling Menai Bay, a designated conservation area, you will spot numerous uninhabited islands, isolated sandbanks, an abundance of marine life and crystal-clear turquoise water; with luck you may even see a humpback and bottlenose dolphins.

This magical tour will give you the opportunity to go snorkeling on a reef and tuck into a great seafood lunch. After lunch, why not join an experienced crew and take your seat in a “ngalawa” or outrigger canoe made by hand from a single mango tree. Depending on the tide, swim through a lush mangrove forest in a beautiful hidden lagoon. Moreover, you can climb a giant and unusual baobab tree, or simply admire it from the ground.

When the day is done, (if the wind permits) watch as the crew hoist a lateen sail ready for a relaxing voyage back to Fumba.
